The Jessiaume Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes 2021 is from the Beaune 1er Cru appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, produced by Domaine Jessiaume, a respected winery founded in 1850 in Santenay.  This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the Les Cents Vignes climat, a 23.5-hectare Premier Cru vineyard at the northern edge of Beaune, known for its clay-limestone soils and southeast exposure, which balances sunlight and prevents overripening.

Neal Martin of Antonio Galloni's Vinous rated this wine 91-93 points.  “The 2021 Beaune Les Cents Vignes 1er Cru comes from a hectare parcel (1.16ha), around 60-year-old vines.  This has quite a complex bouquet, fine mineralité and tension with dark cherry fruit mixed cranberry and brown spices.  The palate is medium-bodied with well integrated oak, very elegant in style.  This gently fans out with a sustained, sour cherry and crushed strawberry finish.  A tender and quite delicious Beaune.”  (Nov. 2022).  Organic.
