Cropped between October 2-16, and undergoing a 19-day maceration (completely destemmed), the 2013 C?te de Beaune shrugs off the hail damage and offers plenty of rounded red currant and Morello fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine structure, good definition, harmonious, if missing just a little flesh on the austere finish. But there is a sense of control here that is very appealing.

Light in weight, this red offers strawberry, wild cherry and herbal flavors, with a touch of earth. Moderate length on the finish. Drink now through 2020. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 400 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / C?te de Beaune Select to Add
