Tasting Notes and Scores

92 NM

The 2016 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru has tightly packed blackberry and raspberry fruit on the nose. The new oak is a little more evident than its peers and yet nicely controlled and defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity. The fruit profile appears to become blacker towards the final third, grippy with a touch of salinity enlivening the slightly tinny finish. A little brutish in its youth and yet it will surely come around with adequate bottle age. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting in Burgundy.

Silky and smooth on the palate, restrained black fruit with tightly woven tannic fuzz on the palate. Plenty of fruit power, the structure will take some time to soften. (RH)
