ABOUT THE WINE
The second generation now manages this domaine, founded by Antonin in the 1960s. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, they own vines throughout the Cote d'Or, including parcels in some of the finest Premier and Grand cru vineyards. Harvest is by hand, with initial sorting in the vineyard; no more than 50% new oak is used, and the wines of the domaine have a classic freshness and purity to them.
TASTING NOTES
Bright, inviting aromas of red cherry and strawberry, with a hint of forest floor. On the palate concentrated ripe cherries, dark plum and a weighty earthiness makes this a heavenly Burgundy even right now. No need to wait, but will prove to be more rewarding within the next decade.
FOOD PAIRING
Ideal with roasted lamb, duck, veal or soft cheeses.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
The appellation of Chorey-les-Beaune is one of the few which lies on the eastern side of the road which runs along the length of the Côte d’Or. Quality is mixed, with large parts of the appellation controlled by some of Burgundy’s more sizeable negociant-producers; this example, however, is one of the finest, with true depth and complexity.
