Tasting notes
Aromas of raspberries, cherries, sweet spices, raw cocoa and peonies preface the 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l'Écu Monopole, a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant wine with tangy acids, melting tannins and a long, saline finish. This is very promising.

The 2020 Beaune Clos de l’Ecu 1er Cru, raised in 50% new oak, has a gentle nose with brambly red berry fruit with light floral scents. It needs a little more vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with a lightly peppered entry, though there is no whole bunch here, quite fresh and "prickly" on the finish. Fine.
