Domaine des Croix Beaune 1er Cru les Cents Vignes 2023 [NET]

$10499

Les Cents Vignes is the old-vine heart of David Croix's Beaune lineup — his parcels here include vines planted in the 1950s, which brings real concentration and depth to a wine that's still unmistakably charming Beaune. Croix, who founded the domaine in 2005 after years running the cellar at Camille Giroud, farms organically (since 2008) with very low yields and a light touch: ambient-yeast fermentation, a small portion of whole clusters, used barrels, no fining or filtration. The site straddles a gravelly-clay upper slope and well-draining alluvial lower ground, giving the wine both lift and substance. 2023 delivered ripe, generous fruit across Beaune, and this is one of the more structured cuvées in the range — reward it with a few years in the cellar, or decant if you're opening one young.

"I tasted the 2023 Beaune Les Cents Vignes 1er Cru from a new 500-liter barrel. It has a seductive nose with crushed strawberry, raspberry and floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crushed-stone-infused red fruit, a harmonious texture and a minerally, slightly savory finish. Excellent." —Neal Martin

"The 2023 Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes bursts with aromas of raspberries, plums, spices and petals. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and nicely concentrated, with sweet tannins and good depth at the core, this is a site that does well in years where there isn't appreciable hydric stress." —William Kelley
