The top cuvée for the domaine, the 1998 Beaune Greves is a classic Pinot Noir: elegant and balanced, ample and harmonious. Aged 15 years under the winemaker’s careful supervision, this wine has a stronger, leafier taste than the other 1998 Beaunes from Besancenot.

Domaine Besancenot
Successful women winemakers? Just look at Thérèse Besancenot! Heiress to six generations of winemakers, Thérèse, along with brother Dominique, took over her father’s domaine in 2006, and has since been written up by the BBC, Vintages magazine, and the Globe and Mail. “Wine is a passion,” says Thérèse. “It comes from the heart.”
