Red Wine from Beaune

Burghound, 92 points: (BH89-92 points) Here there are enough wood and menthol components to mention that frame the more deeply pitched aromas of dark currant, plum, spice and discreet humus hints. There is a racier and more mineral-inflected...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Lean and earthy, with cherry, currant and cranberry flavors riding the vivid acidity and fine tannins. Comes together on the lingering finish. Best from 2015 through 2022. 140 cases imported. –BS

Burghound, 92 points: (BH89-92 points) A highly perfumed, pure and very pretty nose of plum, rose petal and red currant aromas introduces intensely mineral-driven, vibrant and beautifully well-delineated flavors that terminate in a markedly...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules is one of their premier holdings with a propensity to age with class. It has a fragrant, more floral bouquet with fine delineation – perhaps more feminine than the...

Burghound, 91 points: (BH88-91 points) A pretty nose combines notes of white peach, pear and lemon rind before merging into vibrant middle weight flavors that possess reasonably good depth and length. In fact, I would go so far as to say that...

Burghound, 92 points: A very fresh and distinctly cool nose offers up notes of bright red currant and plenty of stone influence that continues onto the detailed and racy yet fleshy medium weight flavors that possess fine balance and excellent...
