Tasting notes
The 2016 Chorey-lès-Beaune Les Bons Ores offers ripe redcurrant and crushed strawberry on the nose, pressed iris and baking spices emerging with further aeration. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has an unexpected Norther Rhône-like personality. A strong whole bunch element slightly occludes the terroir on the finish. Tasted at Raeburn Fine Wines tasting in London.

The 2016 Chorey-lès-Beaune Les Bons Ores is showing superbly from bottle, and if a better example of this appellation was produced this year, I would love to taste it. Bursting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, rose petal and cinnamon, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and expansive, with supple, powdery tannins, succulent acids and an ample core of fruit. While Chorey can tend to rusticity, here it is interpreted through a Vosne-Romanée lens, and the result is fabulous.
