2015 Domaine des Croix Beaune Grèves 1er Cru

The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Greves has an intense and quite powerful bouquet with copious crushed strawberry, raspberry, vanilla and blueberry scents, a little more "lush" than David Croix's other 2015s. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. It feels tightly wound at the moment, though the acidity is very well judged and there is candied notes on the sweet finish, hints of fig and date on the aftertaste. Very fine"perhaps one for those who like a riper style of Pinot Noir. Review Date: December 2016
