Good to Know: A Beaune Premier Cru immediately catches the eye with its vivid, enticing shade of scarlet. This vibrant color signals the delightful aromas of black and red fruits, humus, and undergrowth that mark a top-tier wine. In its youth, a Beaune Premier Cru has the enticing allure of fresh grapes that delights the palate with its firm, honest charm. As it matures, the structure becomes more apparent, intensifying the balance and richness.

The pre-eminent aromatic strength and robust texture of a Beaune Premier Cru make it the ideal pairing for musky and firm meats, such as game, whether roasted or braised.

Beaune, the very symbol of Burgundy and the epicenter of its winemaking industry, garners global interest during the sale of wines from its Hospices. Its red wines have earned a reputation as the "Pinot Vermeil" of the Dukes of Burgundy since medieval times, respected for their quality and depth.

Renowned winery, Laurent Ponsot SAS, exemplifies this reputation by masterfully blending eight different premier crus into its Cuvée du Noyer.
