Displaying aromas of stones, red currants and cassis, the Beaune is a muscular wine. Crisp red berry flavors are intermingled with a minerally, slightly steely aspect. Medium-bodied, it should be consumed within 4 years of its release. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. At Louis Latour the wine making is entrusted to Jean-Pierre Jobard, the brother of Francois and Charles Jobard, two well-known names in Meursault. Jobard commented that the acid in 1995 reminded him of the 1988.
Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state.
