From a sizeable but obscure cru (how very many in Beaune fit that description!) somewhat north of Vignes Franches, and which de Montille has bottled now for several years, the 2005 Beaune Sizies (assembled in tank) sports bright red currant fruit with faintly bitter and oily tangerine rind accents. Engagingly juicy and bright on the palate, it finishes with purity and vibrant persistence of red currant, grenadine, clove and orange zest. This tastes as though it would be white if it could, and de Montille intends it for immediate bottling and enjoyment.
