Joseph Drouhin Beaune Greves Premier Cru 2021

Description

A great wine, one of the most representative of Beaune, the capital of Burgundy. Intense and bright red color. 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 flavor of “crme de cassis” (cream of black currant) and delicate touches of wood.

94 Points – James Suckling

Lovely ripe berry fruit here with swathes of blueberries, dark cherries, Asian five spice and porcini mushrooms. Medium-bodied and broad, with sturdy yet fine tannins. Fantastic spiciness throughout. Drink or hold.
