Les Grèves Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir

🤗

Five hours in decanter and another in glass to mellow the acidity and reveal earthy red fruits. Medium bodied, deserving of attention while enjoying.

Oct. 2023. Starting to pour brick red. Best with 2-4 hour decant. Some drying tannins, full bodied, hint of red fruits. Great with steak.Has balance and firmness to improve for another 2-3 years.

Wow. Yum.

Dec 2022. With 30 min decant, balanced with good depth, touch of quinine, lime peel on palate, integrated acidity.

I have never had a David Croix wine that wasn't excellent (having said that, the superstitious part of me is sure that my next btl will be compromised in some way). I have had so many hard 05 red burgs, this is diametrically opposed to that. On the nose: black tea, damp earth, soft spice, black raspberry, crushed rock. On the palate: fantastic acidity, black tea, crushed stone, lovely density, and attenuated tannin on the finish. Just lovely.

2006 Dom des Croix. Camille Giroux winemaker on his own. Perfumed tasting beautifully. Focused blueberries.
