Edouard Delaunay Les Grèves Beaune 1er Cru 2021

This wine features a lovely bright raspberry fruit aroma with a bit of menthol and a suggestion of peony. The tannins are substantial, and there is plenty of acidity to draw the wine to a lovely conclusion. The grapes come from 60 – 65 year old vines in the lower part of Grèves where the soils are a bit deeper. The wine shows a true Grèves character in its restraint, elegance, and balance. Drinking window: 2025-2040. Score – 93. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Oct. 31, 2022)
