This is a little-seen First Growth Beaune, recently acquired and solely owned by Faiveley, and one of the Domaine’s rising stars. It is always one of their first plots to ripen, as the vines face due south. It lies in the northern sector of Beaune’s vineyards, not far from Les Bressandes and Les Fe`ves, high on the hill. Colour is purple-ruby of medium depth, aromas bright and open. “The vintage is very charming,” says Jérôme Flous, and this demonstrates that perfectly. Fruit is dense yet soft, the finish supple (for drinking 2024-2030+).
