The 2013 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves has an intense bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, autumn leaves and earthy scents that lend it an introspective, almost sullen feel at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins. This is a bit brutish at the moment because of the CO2 levels, but it should soften and gain more harmony by the time of bottling.
