The 2013 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves was depleted due to poor flowering and hail, which resulted in only around five barrels this year. It has a light red currant and cranberry leaf nose that is just missing a sense of intent and focus, perhaps discombobulated by the difficult growing season. The palate is medium-bodied and shows more promise than the aromatics at this point: candied black cherry and strawberry fruit, orange sorbet surfacing toward the finish. Not a bad Beaune Grèves by any means, although I suspect that the 2014 will be better.
