TASTING NOTES
Red wine: Sometimes with a velvety finesse, sometimes powerful and well-structured, the red wines vary according to the diversity of the climates. Quite light in the Grèves, they are more fleshy in the Clos de Mouche. Most Beaunes are robust, full-bodied without being heady. Tannic and powerful, with a dark colour and a bouquet of fruity or animal notes. Sensual and fruity, each sip gives the impression of biting into fresh grapes. With age, notes of spice and truffle are revealed. Ageing potential of 5 to 10 years.
White wine: Very aromatic, supple, rich but with a good acidity, the Beaunes Premiers Crus exploit the full potential of the Chardonnay. Notes of almond, dried fruit, fern and white flowers characteristic of the grape variety, with occasional notes of honey and cinnamon. Potential for ageing from 3 to 5 years.
