Maison Joseph Drouhin 2022 Beaune-Greves 1er Cru 750ml

The 2022 Beaune-Grèves Premier Cru from Joseph Drouhin shows classic Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir depth and finesse, opening with an intense, bright ruby hue and an expressive nose of ripe red and black fruits—think cassis, blackberry and blueberry—lifted by floral hints of peony and violet and a spicy undertone of fresh cracked pepper and baking spice. On the palate the wine is medium-to-full in body with supple, finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering a seamless harmony of juicy dark fruit, subtle earthiness, and delicate oak nuances. The finish is long and refined, with persistent fruit and spice that underline the wine’s balance and its potential for graceful aging over the next decade and beyond.
