Beaune Premier Cru Les Grèves 1er crus - 2022
- AppellationBEAUNE 1ER CRU
- Production: 2 539 bottles.
- PhilosophyIn the aim of showing all of the diversity of Burgundy’s climats, we thought it would be interesting to offer a Beaune Premier Cru, a rare appellation in Bourgogne in which the surface area classified as Premier Cru is higher than that of the Village wines. And what better than “Les Grèves”, which for us is one of if not the finest Premier Cru in the appellation. Indeed, “Les Grèves” always boasts additional complexity, dimension and depth that make it a truly great wine.
- TerroirThis emblematic Premier Cru is located in the centre of the Beaune village, at the bottom of the slope. The vines are planted in deep, calcareous soil that also contains clay and iron oxide. With its full eastern exposure, at altitudes of between 220 and 250 metres, this climat is known to yield rich, structured wines that boast great ageing potential.
- Vinification and ageingThe entire harvest was handpicked, carefully sorted and completely destemmed. Following a pre-fermentation maceration of a few days, fermentation begins slowly, accompanied by daily punching down of the feet and a few pumping overs. . Cuvaison lasted a total of 15 days, after which the wine was barrel-aged for 17 months with 35% new barrels.
- Tasting notesGogeous ruby red color. Superb nose, expressive and complex. We perceive everything first fruity scents of very ripe cherry then a vegetal touch of almond still fresh. Warm and complex notes of blond tobacco and chocolate black takes shape, enhanced with spicy aromas (cumin). The mouth is silky and presents a beautiful density from the attack to the finish. We find the spicy nuances that we perceive on the nose (cumin, pepper, coriander) which bring relief and elegance. Delicate cherry aroma. Mineral nuances emerge, reflecting the terroir deep from the bottom of the Grèves. The tannins are melted, delicate and well integrated. A wine fresh and expressive, with a nice bounce on the palate and length.
