The 2023 Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes is a beautifully expressive Premier Cru Burgundy from one of Beaune’s leading producers, David Croix. Sourced from a renowned vineyard on the northern side of Beaune, where gravelly clay soils produce wines of both generosity and finesse, the 2023 vintage combines ripe fruit with freshness and impressive balance. Critics awarded the wine 91–93 points, highlighting its purity, concentration and harmony.
The nose reveals raspberry, plum and floral notes with hints of spice, while the palate is silky and vibrant with layers of red berries, subtle minerality and fine tannins. Concentrated yet elegant, it finishes long, savoury and beautifully balanced.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A refined and approachable Beaune Premier Cru that delivers classic Burgundy elegance with excellent depth and ageing potential. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or veal. Enjoy from 2027 onwards or cellar comfortably through 2042+.
