Tasting notes
Cask sample. Pale crimson. Racy, energetic nose. Pure and fresh with some pretty crackling fine tannins. Far from heavy but very pretty and should satisfy those looking for a particularly fresh, precocious 2018 red burgundy. (JR)

The 2018 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru comes from white sandy soils toward top of the slopes, a one-hectare parcel of vines planted in the 1950s and the 1990s. It has a fragrant bouquet of morello cherry, crushed strawberry, hints of vanilla pod and orange pith scents, all very attractive. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry, almost airy in style, and crushed red berries mixed with light cranberry notes toward the finish. Very transparent and well crafted.
