The 2016 Aegerter Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves—sourced from Beaune’s largest and emblematic Premier Cru climat, rooted in clay-limestone soils and named for its friable, gravel-like terrain—is crafted from hand-harvested, destemmed Pinot Noir, given a brief cold maceration and vinified in stainless steel before 10–12 months’ ageing in oak. It presents an intense garnet hue with ruby reflections and offers a concentrated nose of ripe red and black fruits, roasted strawberries, crème de cassis, sweet spice, and subtle herbal notes of thyme and savory. The palate is broad, dense, and fully enveloping, supported by firm yet refined tannins and a long, spice-driven finish. Its depth and structure pair beautifully with richly textured, rosy meats such as roast pigeon with peas and jus, or pink duck breast with crisp skin and roasted white asparagus.
