Beaune Les Boucherottes, Louis Jadot 2014

Here the nose is compositionally almost identical to that of the Couchereaux though it's not quite as ripe. Otherwise the supple, round and relatively forward medium weight flavors also possess a seductive mouth feel while delivering ever-so-slightly less depth and length on the mildly austere finale. Drink: 2021+

The 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Boucherottes has a ripe bouquet with candied orange peel infusing the vibrant red cherry and strawberry fruit. There is something playful about these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, dense and more compact than the Couchereaux, quite saline on the finish with good length and persistence. Superb.
