The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Champimonts displayed a little reduction at first but underneath lies brisk red cherry, wild strawberry and undergrowth scents that appear well defined. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, replete with energy and fission, though I feel it ought to evolve more substance on the finish. All the same, I feel this Beaune premier cru has good potential and certainly it represents a step up from the 2014.
