The 2023 Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Pertuisots is one of the most mineral and structured wines in David Croix’s outstanding Beaune lineup. Sourced from two parcels on shallow limestone soils near the Pommard border, the vineyard consistently produces wines that combine power with remarkable elegance. The 2023 vintage stands out for its concentration, precision and ageing potential.
The nose reveals cherry, cassis and rose petal aromas, while the palate is deep and layered with raspberry, Morello cherry and crushed strawberry fruit supported by chalky tannins and vibrant acidity. Dense yet refined, it finishes long, mineral and beautifully poised with impressive purity and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A serious Beaune Premier Cru with outstanding balance between concentration and elegance. Perfect with duck, roast quail, mushroom dishes, veal or truffle-infused cuisine. Enjoy from 2027 onwards or cellar confidently through 2045+ as it develops greater complexity and savoury depth.
