The wines shows superb fruit and spice aromas with an oaky note. Intense, full and yet delicate on the palate, the wine has a charming velvetiness. Very good ageing potential.
The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus offers up pretty aromas of cherries, cassis, sweet loamy soil, truffles and grilled game bird. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple, with a succulent core of fleshy fruit and a rich and textural profile. It’s a giving, generous wine that should offer a broad drinking window, but don’t let its early approachability deceive, as it should be long-lived too. – 93 points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
