Tasting Notes

92-94
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Dec 16
The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Greves comes from Lafarge's oldest vines—now a not too shabby 94 years old. It offers candied orange peel and red cherries on the nose, somehow quite "lighthearted" and "carefree" compared to others. The palate is fresh and vibrant, very focused with super-fine tannin, crisp acidity and a little more precision than the Beaune Aigrots. The salinity on the finish takes you back for another sip and by that time, you are telephoning your husband or wife or anyone nearby to back up the truck and load up on this outstanding Beaune.

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
Bright medium red. Ripe, complex aromas of raspberry, strawberry, musky soil tones and underbrush, plus a faint leathery nuance. Big, rich, mouthfilling wine with a remarkably spherical shape for Beaune wine. Finishes with ripe, dusty tannins and excellent savory persistence. Two thousand fifteen is a great vintage with rare plenitude, noted Frédéric Lafarge.

94-year-old vines – their oldest. Really exciting mineral aromas. Lift and freshness. Racy and juicy. Great depth and integrity. Electric tension. Real excitement on the finish. (JR)
