Last year of the 100+ year old plot on its own – young vines will be incorporated next year. Even so 32 hl/ha from 101 year old vines. An even crimson to ruby colour. There are firm gravelly tannins here plus the exceptional intensity of ancient vines. Good acidity too. Needs plenty of time. Lots of detail here. Drink from 2031-2038. Tasted Dec 2023.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Offering up aromas of dark berries, cherries and plums mingled with peonies and spices, the 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a rich core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
The 2022 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru comes from 101-year-old vines, the oldest, that comprise two-thirds of this cuvée. They apparently continue to produce good yields. It has a delineated bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry, gravel and light orange rind aromas, very nicely focused with the 15% new oak seamlessly integrated. The palate has a cohesive, quite powerful entry. Layers of red and black fruit intermixed with hints of graphite and a dab of black pepper. Good sapidity towards the finish beckons you back for more. Very fine.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media
