2018 Beaune, Grèves, Joseph Drouhin

TASTING NOTES

"A deft application of wood frames slightly riper aromas of spicy black raspberry, cherry and lovely floral nuances and in particular, violet. The delicious and tautly muscular flavors possess very good verve while the firm, serious and youthfully austere finish makes clear that this is definitely built-to-age. This is excellent though a wine that will need at least a few years of patience." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Issue78

"The 2018 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru offers dark berry fruit mixed with autumn leaf and cedar aromas on the nose, veering toward an earthier style of aromatics. The medium-bodied palate delivers supple tannins and fine acidity. Very pure and caressing with a silky-smooth finish. A lovely Beaune Grèves." Neal Martin, Vinous.com
