One of the most explosive, expressive 09’s I’ve had in recent memory, and one of my favorite Burgundy terroirs, 1er Cru Beaumonts is wafting from the glass tonight holding nothing back with layered and complex aromatics, a liquid cashmere palate with both power and finesse and a long, mineral inflicted finish. Exceptional showing.

This is the wine I brought along for dinner at the head of the Chevaliers movement in Australia. Barely mid crimson in colour. Delivers more intensity on nose and palate than the colour would indicate. Very sappy and savoury on the palate with good length and a great match with the lovely Coq au Vin prepared by the hostess. A great example of a mature Premier Cru from Beaux Monts.

Expected more complexity from this 1er Cru and good vintage, although good persistence and length. Medium minus Tannins. I don’t normally comment on a wine label, but being a printer, this had the classic Burgundian graphic art and type face - beautiful!
