These sixty-plus year-old vines in Teurons have turned out a beautiful bottle in 2017. Readers may recall that this has more limestone in its soils than neighboring Champs Pimont (where there is more clay) and so the wine is usually shows a bit more high-toned perfume as a result. The nose on the 2017 is excellent, wafting from the glass in a complex blend of cherries, red plums, gamebird, a beautiful base of chalky soil tones, a dollop of fresh thyme, violets, roses and a bit of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and beautifully transparent, with a fine core of fruit, tangy acids, fine-grained tannins and a long, soil-driven and beautifully complex finish. This is first class Beaune! (Drink between 2025-2075) (92+)
