Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Greves 2023 750ml

Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru “Les Grèves” 2023 is a distinguished red Burgundy crafted by winemaker David Croix in the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from a small parcel in the renowned Les Grèves Premier Cru vineyard, the wine reflects the site’s gravelly, clay-rich soils and distinctive mineral character. The 2023 vintage combines concentrated fruit with freshness and aromatic finesse, offering layers of dark cherry, red berries, floral notes, and exotic spice. Carefully managed extraction and oak ageing help build texture and complexity while preserving Pinot Noir’s elegance. Rich yet balanced, this Premier Cru expresses the depth and precision of Beaune’s finest vineyard sites and has excellent potential to develop further in bottle.
