Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 94

"Cherry, spice and a lovely array of floral nuances that are laced with warm earth hints. The earth character is picked up by the dense, powerful and tautly muscular medium-bodied flavors that brim with old vine dry extract on the youthfully austere and ever-so-mildly austere finish that is shaped by markedly firm tannins. Excellent." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 94

"The 2018 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru comes from 97-year-old vines, the oldest of the domaine. It has a wonderful, transparent, disarmingly pure bouquet of perfumed crushed strawberry and cranberry aromas laced with rose petals. The palate is silky smooth on the entry, with touches of kirsch infusing the red fruit, and later blood orange and quince, leading to quite a precocious finish. This will be very seductive once bottled." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94

"The Lafarge family's 97-year-old vines managed to produce a yield of 35 hectoliters per hectare this year, and they have produced a very serious wine for the long haul in the form of the 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves. Unwinding to reveal notions of sweet red berries, orange rind and wilted rose petal, it's medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and mineral, with superb depth and a long, penetrating finish. This elegant, ethereal Beaune is built for the cellar." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 94

"A steep slope of gravel and limestone above the town of Beaune is the home of this 97-year-old parcel that's even older than pater familias Michel Lafarge but just as sprightly. Showing a little more grip and acidity than the domaine's Clos des Aigrots bottling, it's another very subtle, graceful, understated red from one of Burgundy's most accomplished winemakers."

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!
