Tasting notes
From a parcel purchased in 2016, the 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains offers up inviting aromas of cherries, raspberries, licorice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, lively and enveloping, with powdery tannins, succulent acids and a charmingly enveloping profile, this will offer a broad drinking window.

The 2018 Beaune Les Tuvilains 1er Cru offers a mixture of red and black fruit on a nose that is very pure in style, with seamlessly integrated new oak (50%). The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins and a core of red fruit infused with white pepper and graphite notes, leading to a precise finish. Promising.
A fresh but definitely ripe nose offers up notes of poached plum, black cherry and warm earth scents. There is excellent volume to the caressing yet relatively powerful flavors also possess good density before culminating in a moderately rustic and sneaky long finish. This won’t win any awards for refinement but I like the character. 2030+
