Origin | France, Burgundy, Beaune Montrevenots Premier Cru |
Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Père et Fils — one of our flagship Burgundy producers — was established in 1879; five generations later, it is managed by Christine Gruère-Dubreuil, and her husband, Nicolas Gruère, along with their daughter, Clementine, who has officially joined her mother in the vineyards and cellar. Superb winemaking tradition and an intense love of their land has enabled the estate to rise to epic status, using the family motto, “Pleasure and passion carry on…” as a guideline for success. This family has spent nearly a century and a half chasing perfection, and that fact is beautifully evident in each new vintage from this unforgettable estate.
The Beaune Montrevenots is a wonderful Premier Cru made from 100% Pinot Noir. All fruit is hand-harvested and destemmed, fermented in stainless steel and aged for 12 to 15 months in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, of which 25% are new. This is a firmly structured Pinot that delivers dark berry fruit and floral hints on the nose followed by an intense mineral-driven palate with hints of black tea and dark fruit. Enjoy with roasted beef tenderloin.

The 2021 Beaune Montrevenots ler Cru has a vivid and quite effervescent nose with Bing cherries and crushed strawberries. Light mineral scents surface with time. This is very well-focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. The 2021 is nicely structured, what you might call a "steadfast" Beaune in the positive sense of the word, with commendable backbone and salinity on the finish. Excellent.
