2022 Beaune, Les Teurons, 1er Cru, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Burgundy

Cask sample. Biodynamic.

Lightish cherry red. Open, vibrant red-cherry fruit with just a suggestion of oak sweetness. Intense sweet-sour cherries, such deep and generous fruit. Mouth-filling fruit with rounded, sufficient tannins and enough freshness to balance, giving a long mouth-watering finish.

Drink 2025 - 2032

A ripe nose speaks mostly of red and dark cherry, liberally laced with warm earth nuances. The supple, delicious, and caressing middleweight flavours possess good verve, which carries over to the inviting and lingering finish, where a touch of rusticity eventually surfaces.

A light crimson ruby colour. The nose is quite refined as well, with a fresh, crunchy red fruit, not too much body but more of a linear intensity, and certainly very persistent. Very well-balanced.

Drink 2028 - 2034

The Beaune Teurons from Rossignol-Trapet is a distinct step up from their villages wine, with better density and winning aromas of ripe black plum and cherry adorned with hints of earth and smoke. The seamless texture is rich and velvety, and the wine has the balance and energy to supply a lingering finish. The biodynamically-grown grapes are from the domaine's 1.4-hectare parcel at the top of the slope; they are partly destemmed and fermented with a meticulous extraction to yield this delicious wine.
