Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Good depth to the aromas of raspberry, cherry, stone and menthol, along with a faint vegetal nuance. Less ripe and minerally than the Clos des Couchereaux; boasts good concentration but also conveys a tough, medicinal character. Today the wine's slightly dry tannins and acids clash on the back end.

The 2013 Beaune 1er Cru Boucherottes has a more straightforward bouquet compared to the other '13 Beaune crus at the moment, with lifted raspberry and wild strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, "fluid" tannins, plenty of fleshy red cherry and strawberry fruit that segue toward a harmonious, generous finish. This will probably be earlier drinking but is well worth hunting down.
Intense nose reminiscent of well-hung pheasant. Though not that intense on the palate. Pretty rather than intense. Damson fruit and mid to light weight with marked tannins. (JR)
