The 2016 Beaune 1Er Cru les Toussaints has a deep color. This has an intense bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and crushed violet aromas. Like some of Xavier's other reds, I would like to see more precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, nicely structured and focused although the oak needs to be fully subsumed on the stocky, lightly spiced finish, so afford this another couple of years in bottle.
