Chateau Chorey Chorey-Les-Beaune
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU14856
This is utterly charming. Nose is sweet pinot fruit, all come hither, garlanded with light minerality. Lithe and pleasant drinking, with not a thing to distract from the straightforward appeal. One of those wines with a combination of lilting pinot fruit and acid that simply can't come from anywhere else.
Chateau Genot-Boulanger Beaune 1er Cru Les Greves
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU14768
This organically grown Pinot shows strikingly compelling aromas and a finessed personality. The youthful blackcurrant aromas leave place to characteristic smoky flavors among which, pipe tobacco, with its spicy tone, is the most distinctive. With its elegant tannins and its light woody touch on the aftertaste, this is a seductive wine.
Domaine DuBreuil-Fontaine Beaune Montrevenots 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7731
An expressive nose of raspberry and black cherry aromas is nuanced by hints of spice and warm earth that also can be found on the rich, forward, supple and generous flavors that seem almost soft but then tighten up quickly on the solidly long and dusty finish.
Domaine Albert Morot Beaune Aigrots 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7801
This offers up a very pretty nose of red and black pinot fruit plus attractive notes of violets and earth framed by a deft touch of wood that manage to remain cool and refined and this reserve continues onto the rich, full-bodied and obviously mineral-suffused flavors underpinned by firm but buried tannins. This will age well but require medium term patience. Outstanding! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Michel LaFarge Beaune 1er Cru Les Aigrots
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - BEAUNE
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6998
A completely different aromatic profile presents itself with a much more fruit-driven yet also more elegant nose that runs more toward cool red pinot and raspberry and while there is a touch of earth, it's subtle. The medium weight flavors are very Beaune in character with a rich, sweet and generous mouth feel and a detailed and mineral suffused finish.
