Domaine des Croix Description
From a small parcel of 1.10 ha (2.72 ac) with vines planted in 1955, 1956, 1957, 1968
Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2022 Beaune Les Cents Vignes ler Cru seems to be 100% whole bunches, but no, it's not -there's just 40% stems here. Croix believes this is because of the high pH at 3.94. Rose bush and damp loam soil. The medium-bodied palate sports some of the darkest fruit in the range, a stony character taking over towards the finish. Not a punter's Beaune, one of the diehard lovers of a classical style of Pinot Noir.
Wine Advocate: 90-92 Points
The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes bursts with aromas of plummy fruit, sweet spices and crushed mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and charming palate that's melting and saline. This alluvial terroir can suffer in dry vintages, but it always produces very accessible wines.
Burghound: 90-92 Points
A perfumed and quite floral nose freely offers up it aromas of the essence of re cherry, currant and a whiff of spice nuances. The lacy and much more finely textured middleweight flavors possess an almost delicate mouthfeel that tightens up somewhat on the dusty, balanced and sneaky long finale. This is lovely and pretty much textbook Cents Vignes.
