Score 88-90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2018
(not frosted but the yield was just 20 hectoliters per hectare): Good medium red. Sexy scents of red berries, plum and spices complicated by leather and earth nuances. Supple, fine-grained and sweet if not yet delivering the complexity promised by the nose. This midweight finishes with a fine dusting of tannins.

The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru les Aigrots has a sensual bouquet with Morello cherry, crushed strawberry and light mineral notes that are very well defined. The palate is defined by a frame of chalky tannin housing tensile red berry fruit with just the perfect amount of salinité that will have you craving another sip. This is simply superb.
