Fresh aromas of red currant, cherry and floral scents are trimmed in just enough wood to mention. The sleek, vibrant and nicely stony middle weight flavors possess more completely integrated tannins though there is a trace of backend dryness that cuts the finish somewhat short. Note: 33% whole clusters
The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru les Perrieres comes from 100% limestone soils and includes one-third whole cluster fruit. Half of the vineyard was vanquished by frost. It has a modest, tightly wound bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit, loamy scents surfacing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive focus, a little stern and abrupt perhaps, with plenty of freshness and vitality. A bit aloof at the moment, but I think this will come good once in bottle.
