Tasting notes
Aromas of dark berry fruit, baking chocolate and spices introduce the 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Les Perrières, a medium to full-bodied, rich but lively wine that's gourmand and enveloping. This is promising, and it should drink well comparatively young.

The 2018 Beaune Les Perrières 1er Cru comes from the domaine’s most limestone-rich vineyard and is made with one-third whole cluster. It has an attractive bouquet of raspberry, black currant and light floral aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The medium-bodied palate delivers crunchy tannins. A little rigid at the moment, with a correct, linear finish that just needs a little more flesh to develop by the time of bottling. My feeling is that this will be a long-term Beaune.
