The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru les Blanches Fleurs is one of my picks from the domaine this year. It offers up redcurrant jus and pomegranate on the nose, one that is well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, very fine tannin; it is harmonious and demonstrating fine mineralité. The precision here deserves a light 'round of applause.

The 2014 Beaune 1er Cru les Blanches Fleurs has an elegant blueberry and strawberry nose that is nicely defined, one of the most detailed on show here. The palate is crisp and taut with fine tannin, a little chalky in texture but with pretty red cherry and spicy notes on the tensile finish. This is a well crafted Beaune Premier Cru.

A more elegant and slightly higher-toned array of essence of red berry fruit, in particular cherry, leads to vibrant and beautifully delineated middle weight flavors that possess an attractive texture on the saline-inflected and refreshing finish. This too should be approachable young if you have no patience!
