Here is the cool, floral and licorice side of Beaune, these qualities married to a ripe yet sleek body with terrific stony minerality and self-confidently dry tannins. I love the elegance at the precise, long finish. From a 2.4 hectare block in the steep section of this site, where the soil is very chalky. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

There are enchanting aromas of ripe rose petals and wild strawberries on the initial attack of the 2022 Teurons from Bouchard. The texture is firm and grippy but fully ripe and not astringent. The grapes are from 2.30 hectares of east-facing vines in thin soils over the limestone bedrock. Although this is normally among the most early-ripening parcels of the house, the vines shut down this year due to heat stress and ripened late.

The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons is excellent, revealing notes of red berries, peonies, orange zest and incense, followed by a medium to full-bodied, bright and precise palate with good depth and cut. This is built to cellar with grace.

There is a top note of kirsch on the ripe aromas of red and black pinot fruit that are cut with pretty floral scents. The super-sleek and refined middleweight flavors possess a caressing mid-palate texture that is in keeping with the balanced and sneaky long finish. Teurons also always ages well and so should this example. *Outstanding*

A dark purple colour. Quite a ripe fruit which could use the cleaning up of a racking, at which time it will have the sulphur adjusted. Dark ripe cherries on the nose. A wealth of fruit at the front end, some tannins but not astringent behind, a dark strawberry fruit to finish. This has the makings of a very good wine once it has finished its elevage and been cleaned up for bottling.
