- This wine exhibits superb fruit and spice aromas with a hint of oak on the nose. It is intense, full, and delicate on the palate with a charming velvety texture. The wine has been aged for 12 to 14 months in French oak, with 40 to 50% of the barrels being new. It also has great ageing potential.
Intense and tightly wound, this red displays a laser beam of cherry and berry fruit with an underlying mineral element and steely structure. It's concentrated and long, yet needs time to reveal all its facets. Beaune 1er Cru Les Greves Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus unwinds in the glass with notes of plums, cassis, loamy soil, black truffle, spices, and incense. Medium to full-bodied, velvety, and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with bright acids, ultra-refined tannins, and a long, penetrating finish. This is the latest in a series of superb renditions of this cuvée and may be the finest.

| Winery | The name “Vine of Baby Jesus” refers to an old story. It is said that Marguerite du Saint-Sacrement, Carmelite founder of the “domestiques de la Famille du Saint Enfant Jesus”, predicted the birth of King Louis XIV of France. However, his mother, Anne of Austria, was barren. Nine months after the prediction, on 5 September 1638, the future Louis XIV was born. Marguerite du Saint-Sacrement's reputation spread throughout the land, and donations poured in. In this atmosphere of fervent giving, the Carmelites received a renowned vineyard named “Vigne de l’Enfant-Jesus” (Vine of Baby Jesus). |
