Tasting notes

The 2020 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru comes from 90-year old vines. It was much more backaward than the Clos des Aigrots, scents of dark cherries, cranberry and Tayberry emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with more substance than the Clos des Aigrots, gentle grip, very harmonious with perfectly judged acidity and an almost pixelated finish. Outstanding.
