Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru comes from 97-year-old vines, the oldest of the domaine. It has a wonderful, transparent, disarmingly pure bouquet of perfumed crushed strawberry and cranberry aromas laced with rose petals. The palate is silky smooth on the entry, with touches of kirsch infusing the red fruit, and later blood orange and quince, leading to quite a precocious finish. This will be very seductive once bottled.
