Bursting with aromas of raspberries, sweet spices and deep soil tones, the 2021 Beaune 1er Cru du Château is medium-bodied, ample and charming, with lively acids, melting tannins and a saline finish. This high-quality, comparatively accessible bottling is always reliable, though I confess I'd love to see some of the great parcels that go into it as standalone cuvées.

An intense sage aroma is married to bright red berry fruit - redcurrant, raspberry and cranberry - plus a healthy dose of well-crafted tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Good length with some interesting savory character at the finish. Just about drinkable now, but a bit more time in bottle would help. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

Winemaker

Fine, very perfumed nose. This harmonious, well-constituted wine has the typical softness of Beaune's Premiers Crus. Good ageing potential.
