TThe 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Blanc was impacted by the frost so that it was cropped at just 15 hectoliters per hectare, one-third that of Bressandes Blanc. It has a pretty lime and white peach-scented bouquet with a little more detail than the Bressandes Blanc. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, here a subtle marine influence coming to play toward the finish with a touch of oyster shell on the aftertaste. Fine.
Solidly structured, this red displays a firm grip of tannins around the cherry, plum, earth and woodsy flavors. Turns a bit chewy on the finish, where spice notes emerge. Excellent length.
