(racked during the harvest and now in cuve Good full red. More perfumed on the nose than the bottled Beaunes, offering black cherry, licorice, spices and minerals.

(one-third destemmed): Good full medium red. Slightly medicinal aromas of red berries, cherry and mocha. Thicker and sweeter than the Perrieres but with a light touch for its density. Savory and nicely done, finishing with suave tannins and very good length.

Bright medium red. A ripe aroma of cherry liqueur is lifted by spice and mint high notes and complicated by menthol and licorice. Shows good texture for the vintage but today the strong licorice element dominates the wine's fruit. Finishes quite peppery, with slightly tough tannins. Not particularly approachable for a wine from clay-based soil. The crop level was down 30% due to hail and a bad flowering.Inc. TAX€119.82 -

The 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves was fully destemmed. It has an earthy, damp woodland-scented bouquet that infiltrates the red berry fruit, perhaps just a little rustic for a Beaune Grèves, but full of character.

The 2017 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru has a harmonious bouquet with ample ripe Morello cherry, strawberry and raspberry preserve aromas, a hint of vanilla in the background.
