Better ripeness than their Beaune du Château, with juicy redcurrant and raspberry aromas. Simple palate, semi-firm tannin, moderate length. (RH)

(20 hectoliters per hectare produced, with the bottom of the parcel doing better than the top): Dark red with ruby highlights. Sexy aromas of redcurrant, minerals and leather. Then youthfully clenched and tightly wound but not dry, with its medicinal cherry and licorice flavors joined on the end by a note of dark chocolate. The slightly tough tannins will require at least a few years of bottle aging upon release. In its wildness and structure, this wine reminded me of a Gevrey-Chambertin, as the Teurons example from Domaine Albert Morot has done for years.
