The 2022 Beaune Premier Cru 'Grèves' from Domaine Tollot-Beaut is a poised and expressive red Burgundy that captures the finesse and structure of this classic Côte de Beaune terroir. The Grèves climat is known for its warm, south-facing slopes and limestone-rich soils, which help produce wines with vibrant red fruit, fine tannins and clear mineral definition.
This Grèves will be delicious with roasted lamb chops with rosemary and garlic, pork belly sliders with pickled onions, beef bourguignon, or a mushroom and taleggio tart — dishes with rich, savoury flavours will dance with the wine’s bright fruit and structure.

Vintage report
The 2022 growing season in Burgundy began with a worryingly dry spring that had vignerons checking soil moisture levels weekly, followed by a summer that alternated between intense heat and welcome rainfall. The vines handled the stress remarkably well, producing smaller berries with concentrated flavours, though yields dropped significantly across both the Côte d'Or and Chablis. Harvest began earlier than usual, with many producers picking in late August under bright skies.
What emerged from the cellars shows a vintage of surprising finesse given the challenging conditions. The Pinot Noirs display vivid fruit and firm tannins without the jammy weight you might expect from a hot year, whilst the Chardonnays retained their mineral backbone alongside ripe stone fruit flavours. We're finding the village-level wines particularly compelling right now, drinking beautifully with just a year or two of bottle age, though the premier and grand crus will reward patience until the late 2020s.
