Produced primarily from younger vines in Beaune premier cru vineyards (including the famous Beaune Clos Des Mouches), the Cote de Beaune is bright ruby-colored and has expressive aromas of black raspberries. This pleasing, light-to-medium-bodied, and vibrant wine offers crunchy cherry flavors intermingled with zesty orange peels. It should be consumed over the next two years. The score, on a range and in parentheses, indicates that the wine was tasted from barrel. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel (212) 818-0770.
