92 Points Wine Spectator
 
Sweet, ripe cherry and wild strawberry fruit mingles with Asian spices and a kiss of new oak in this open-knit, alluring red. Silky and firm enough to age a few decades, this leaves a complex spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042.

An elegant Beaune 1er Cru with stacks of red fruit aromas including a touch of watermelon. The lively acidity interlocks neatly with the well-crafted fine tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Long harmonious finish. Sustainable.
Winemaker Notes
The stunning and historic appellations of Cote De Beaune in France date back centuries, and are a vitally important center for the fine French wine industry. Located in the southern half of the Cote d'Or, Cote De Beaune is widely renowned for producing what are said to be some of the finest white wines in the world. Indeed, the Chardonnay grapes which flourish in the beautiful climatic conditions of Cote De Beaune ripen fully after the hot summers, and contain an impressive array of flavors and aromas, as well as many of the best features of the superb terroir they grow on. Pinot Noir is the region's other key grape varietal, and the red wines of Cote De Beaune are also considered to be of a very high quality indeed.
