The 2022 Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains is a beautifully structured Pinot Noir from the Les Tuvilains Premier Cru vineyard in Beaune, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. Perched high on the slope at around 300 metres, the organically farmed vineyard features thin, gravelly soils that contribute freshness and mineral precision. The 2022 vintage opens with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and ripe plum, complemented by violet, subtle spice and earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Layers of black and red berry fruit are balanced by a stony mineral core and restrained oak, leading to a long, refined finish. Carefully managed extraction and maturation in used French oak preserve the vineyard's purity while giving the wine impressive depth and ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy lovers seeking a Premier Cru Pinot Noir with both power and finesse. Pair it with roast duck, beef fillet, mushroom risotto, game birds or aged Comté. Enjoy after a short decant, or cellar for the next 12–18 years as the wine develops greater savoury complexity and elegance.
