Lafarge – Beaune – Grèves – 2000

Smooth, maturing premier cru. A lightly defined bouquet of cherry and violet comes through with a wisp of volatile acidity; the palate seems relatively fragile and the remaining acidity dominates the mouthfeel. It heavies up with time, moving towards a slightly porty character. I think we have caught this wine at an awkward moment; I’d like either more aromatics or a more defined secondary and tertiary character.

88/100
