Classic Burgundian colour with a hint of lavender purple in the right light.
The nose is feminine, floral to start then juicy red fruit, crushed raspberries and cranberries followed by a touch of earth.
The palate is classic Beaune - fresh, luscious red summer fruits knit with tight structure - the fruit is all mid-palate, then there's the backbone - a bit of soft wood, supple tannins and a bit of green (cherry pips?) leading into a nice, though slightly short, finish. Good, but not great - expected more from the vintage.
