Crunchy redcurrant fruit, excellent purity and bite with a lovely herbal scent on the palate. Succulent and light but with impeccable flavour concentration. (RH)

The 2017 Beaune Les Teurons 1er Cru has an open-knit, charming bouquet brimming with red cherries, strawberry pastilles and hints of fig jam. I appreciate the delineation and purity here. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh ripe tannin, a fine line of acidity, clearly a Les Teurons detained to be elegant and tensile in style with a prickle of white pepper on the finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.
A completely different nose is brooding and exceptionally earthy with both red and dark berry aromas that are cut with floral top notes. The sleek and tautly muscular flavors possess notably more weight and drive while being shaped by much firmer tannins on the youthfully austere finale. At least some patience will be required.
