Tasting notes
The 2020 Beaune Clos des Fèves 1er Cru has quite a rich nose with a bit too much VA for my liking, obscuring some of the fruit. The palate is chewy on the entry with plenty of dark fruit but there is a slightly roasted element on the finish that detracts from its freshness. Cumbersome.

Monopole. Very deep blackish ruby. Not much nose and solid sweet fruit on the palate. Hardly a light hand but it’s presumably the vintage speaking. A little pinched and brutal on the end. (JR)
Still the fruitiest of these Chanson 2020 premiers crus and quite a bit of fun so long as you like sweetness and hedonism. (JR)
The 2020 Beaune Clos des Fèves 1er Cru from the 3.80-hectare monopole owned by Chanson, has a well defined nose with a mixture of red and black fruit, a touch of loam/woodland scent. Maybe there is a subtle herbaceous element but it is simpatico with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, saturated tannins. Dark berry fruit mixed with white pepper and clove, quite structured towards the finish that just needs a little more finesse and precision. Not bad overall though. Closure: Diam
