Domaine des CROIX Beaune 2022 (Red)

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: Pinot Noir 

Tasting notes: The 2022 Beaune has turned out nicely, opening in the glass with aromas of sweet plums, dark berries, orange zest and spices. Medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with powdery tannins and a sapid finish, it's mostly matured in foudre. It's a blend of Les Pointes des Tuvilains and La Blanchisserie, dominated by the former. - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About the Winery:
David Croix's well-deserved reputation as one of the leading talents among his generation in the Côte de Beaune is founded on hard work in the vineyards, something I regularly witness in the Beaune premiers crus where I have the good fortune to have him as a neighbor. Soils are cultivated mechanically or by animal traction; canopies are hedged late and high or managed by "tressage" without cutting their apical shoots; harvesting privileges full physiological maturity; and in the winery, winemaking is classical, often retaining some stems, followed by élevage in barrels and, for some cuvées, foudres.
