Tasting notes
One of the more generous and gourmand of David Croix's Beaunes, the 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes offers up an expressive bouquet of rose petals, spices and red fruit compote, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate with succulent acids and melting tannins.

More complex than the village/city wine. Rather velvety and polished but capable of rewarding cellaring. (JR)
The 2017 Beaune Les Cents Vignes 1er Cru contains around 10% to 15% whole bunches, although there seems like more than that on the earthy nose, which is perhaps just a little smudged at the moment. The crisp, slightly chalky palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a pretty, easygoing finish that suggests that, like the Village Cru, this will be an approachable wine to drink over the next four or five years.
