Tasting Notes

Medium red. Musky aromas of plum, redcurrant, strawberry, dried flowers, underbrush and spicecake. Juicy and firm-edged, in fact a bit youthfully ungiving, with saline minerality complicating the redcurrant and earth flavors. Not a particularly sweet style owing to its impression of acidity but stylish for Beaune wine. Finishes with dusty tannins and an appealing pomegranate bitterness.

Score: 91

The Beaune Greves Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus 2011 is a serious and lovely pinot. In the bouquet delicate red and dark berry fruit - with notes of cherries, raspberries and plum - spiced with some quite refined floral hints. On the palate very harmonious with a quite intense but airy fruit - a nice mineralic tension - and a good backbone of finely grained tannins and acidity. It’s quite muscular for the vintage, and will require some cellaring before the full potential is unleashed. A beautiful wine in the making - love the midpalate intensity and the terroir expression.

There is a touch of green tea to the gamey and overtly sauvage aromas of dark berry fruit, plum and floral hints. Like the Teurons there is a really lovely mouth feel to the intense, detailed and refined medium-bodied flavors that possess good if not exceptional volume by the standards of this wine. There is impressive depth and sneaky length to the finish as it almost dies out only to recommence. Good stuff but note that patience will be required.
