Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93

"As is typically the case this isn't quite as elegant but it's even more complex with its nuanced array of red pinot fruit, dark currant and pungent earth scents. The attractively supple mid-palate of the medium-bodied flavors contrasts with the distinctly firm finish that offers excellent depth and persistence. Note that this will need at least a few years first as it's clearly built-to-age."

Antonio Galloni

AG 93

"The 2017 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru comes from a single parcel of 96-year old vines, the oldest that the Lafarge family owns. It has a well defined, slightly gravelly bouquet that is not as immediate or as sensual as the Clos des Aigrots at the moment. This is more surly. The palate exhibits more brightness, quite lucid in fact, with fine tannin, fleshy red cherry and strawberry fruit, not a deep or powerful Beaune but velvety smooth towards the finish. The seductive quality to this wine is stacked towards the back end, but it leaves you wanting another sip as soon as possible." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 92

"From the domaine's oldest vines, the 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves exhibits notes of cherries, spices and citrus peel. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, with more concentration than the Clos des Aigrots and a more muscular chassis of fine-grained tannins, concluding with a long finish."

Jancis Robinson

JR 17.5

"Intoxicating cherry fruit on the nose. Sweet and ripe. Deep and rich in the mouth. Concentration and complexity – so typically old vine in its apparently effortless intensity. Firm and more savoury on the palate, rounded but structured. Wonderful."

Decanter

D 93

"At 96 years old and counting, Lafarge's parcel of Beaune Grèves is the oldest in the cellar. But if you're expecting a correspondingly concentrated wine, you will be disappointed - this is butterfly light, floating out of the glass to deliver red cherry, raspberry and lilac notes with just a hint of sweet spices from 15% new oak."

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
