Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Drouhin 2020

"There is plenty of floral influence on the much less obviously spicy and admirably pure aromas of red and black fruit, warm earth and orange peel wisps. The racy, intense and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the youthfully austere and mineral-driven finish. This could use better depth, but more should reasonably develop with a few years of bottle aging." - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com

"A great wine, one of the most representative of Beaune, the capital of Burgundy. Intense and bright red colour. The nose displays aromas of red currant with some spicy notes. With age and in some vintages, the aromas become even more marked by spicy and smoky touches, such as tobacco. On the palate, the tannins are refined and create a seductive harmony. In the aftertaste there is a marked flavour of « crème de cassis » (cream of black currant) and delicate touches of wood." - Véronique Boss-Drouhin
