The 2014 Beaune 1er Cru les Grèves, reduced by two-thirds of the crop, has a rather earthy bouquet, the fruit subdued by the impact of the hail. It just feels a touch out of breath. The palate is actually better with a pleasing sharpness on the entry. The acidic thread drives this along, red merging into blacker fruit towards the finish that is not complex, but at least it feels harmonious. This is a decent effort given the circumstances, although there are better vintages from the domaine.
