Domaine des Croix, Beaune 1er Cru les Tuvilains, 2021

David Croix took over the Domaine des Croix project in Beaune with the mission of making serious, terroir-driven Burgundy that can compete with the best names on the Côte de Beaune. Les Tuvilains is a well-positioned Premier Cru in Beaune — structured, savory, and capable of considerable age. The 2021 vintage was cool and classic in Burgundy: high acidity, firm tannins, and a precision that rewards patience. David Croix's wines are increasingly recognized among the Côte de Beaune's most exciting — if you haven't found them yet, Tuvilains is a fine entry point.
