2021 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Hugues et Louis Bétault
In the 17th Century, Hugues Bétault saved the Hôtel-Dieu from ruin when wars and epidemics broke out. He built an airy infirmary and acquired land that was transformed into gardens and a vegetable patch. After his death, his brother Louis in turn made several generous donations to the Hospices de Beaune. The Beaune Premier Cru Grèves is the backbone of this Cuvée, supported by the Aigrots and the Clos de la Mignotte. The Grèves are located in the middle of the slopes, very well exposed (East) and have a stony and well drained soil. It is certainly these dominant limestone and sandy soils that supply the refined notes of the wine’s attack on the palate. In turn, the Aigrots dominate in the middle of the mouth, often opulent, thanks to its heavier clays. It is on the finish that the Mignotte (a young vine) confirms its sumptuousness. This subtle blend makes the wine quickly accessible, enough to delight the most impatient.
