Tasting notes
The 2021 Beaune Clos de l’Ecu 1er Cru offers pretty raspberry and wild strawberry scents on a straightforward but fresh nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth entry, pastille-like fruit that actually reminds me of a Central Otago wine. The palate is sweet and candied, easygoing with a harmonious, airy finish.

Exhibiting aromas of sweet berries, vine smoke and spices, the 2021 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l'Écu Monopole is medium-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a cool core of fruit and melting tannins. It will offer a broad drinking window in its supple, delicate style.
