With beautifully ripe red-and-black berry fruit on the rose, this is elegant and bright. It’s quite savoury on the palate with a delicious mouth-feel, fine and ripe tannins and crisp acidity. Very easy to drink, David says that this is his delicate Premier Cru (and textbook Cent Vignes). It is perfect in its youth but with the structure to age for a decade or more.

Critics reviews
Jasper Morris MW 90-92/100
Racked last week into concrete tank. Dense concentrated crimson red. Punchy fruit, almost plummy, very juicy on the palate, all in rich red fruit, a touch floral. Some liquorice behind. Quite a luxurious style of Beaune with very light tannins, kept fresh by 50% whole bunches.

The 2022 Beaune Les Cents Vignes 1er Cru seems to be 100% whole bunches, but no, it's not - there's just 40% stems here. Croix believes this is because of the high pH at 3.94. Rose bush and damp loam soil. The medium-bodied palate sports some of the darkest fruit in the range, a stony character taking over towards the finish. Not a punter's Beaune, one of the diehard lovers of a classical style of Pinot Noir.
