2022 Arnaud Baillot Beaune Les Montrevenots 1er Cru, Burgundy

Nestled in the hills above Beaune, Les Montrevenots is known for producing wines with purity, depth, and elegance.

Aromas of red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries take center stage, complemented by subtle floral notes of violets and a touch of earthy spice. Hints of oak and crushed stone add further complexity, creating an inviting and layered bouquet.

On the palate, the wine is silky and well-balanced, with fine tannins and bright acidity bringing freshness and structure. Juicy red fruit flavors mingle with delicate spice and an underlying minerality, leading to a long, graceful finish.

The limestone-rich soils of Les Montrevenots provide the perfect foundation for Pinot Noir, giving the wine its signature refinement and aging potential. Winemaker Arnaud Baillot’s thoughtful approach, including gentle extraction and aging in French oak barrels, ensures a wine that truly reflects its terroir.

This Premier Cru pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, herb-crusted lamb, or mushroom risotto. It also works well with charcuterie or a selection of aged cheeses. Enjoy it in its youth for its vibrant fruit, or cellar for 8–12 years to develop even greater complexity.
