A great wine, one of the most representative of Beaune, the capital of Burgundy. Intense and bright red color. The nose displays aromas of red currant with some spicy notes. With age and in some vintages, the aromas become even more marked by spicy and smoky touches, such as tobacco. On the palate, the tannins are refined and create a seductive harmony. In the aftertaste there is a marked flavor of "crème de cassis" (cream of black currant) and delicate touches of wood

94 Points - Decanter

You'd expect one of the best Beaune-based négociants to make an impressive red from what is generally regarded as the appellation's best premier cru, and you'd be correct. Made with 25% whole bunches and 30% new wood, this shows the aristocratic class of the site, with an appealing amalgam of perfumed oak, stemmy complexity, tangy acidity and smooth plum and raspberry fruit.

92 Points - James Suckling

This is very open and spicy with white pepper, dried strawberries and hints of cherries. Full-bodied and dense with gorgeous ripe fruit and intensity. Layered and flavorful. Needs a year or two to come completely together. Drink after 2022.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves offers up a sweet bouquet of cassis, cherries, forest floor and spices. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with a deep core of succulent fruit that displays excellent concentration, largely concealing its fine structuring tannins before concluding with a chalky finish. Barrel Sample: 90-92

91 Points - Burghound.com
A riper combination features notes of cassis, plum liqueur, violet and plenty of iron-inflected earth. The succulent, even opulent, medium-bodied flavors possess a highly seductive texture before culminating in a grippy bitter cherry pit-suffused finish.
