The 2015 Santenay 1er Cru Beaurepaire had been racked just before the vintage and had been in tank since the beginning of September. They kept some lees after racking to feed the wine, and it matured in 25% new oak. It has an attractive, yeasty, baked bread-scented bouquet that gains complexity in the glass. There is good definition here. The palate is very well balanced with tropical fruit: mango and pineapple, hints of white peach and even a hint of rhubarb. The acidity is finely tuned and there is a lovely twist of lime cordial on the finish. It does not have enormous length but it will give 4-5 years of pleasure.
