Jadot Beaune Premier Cru 2023

. Original price: . Final price: $54.99
The vineyards of the Beaune appellation include 42 Premiers Crus, thanks to their situation on sloping hillsides well exposed to the sun. Fruit for this wine is a blend of grapes from select Premier Cru vineyards throughout the appellation. Red wines from the north are light in color with soft fruit flavors; those from the central and southern areas are powerful, tannic and deeply colored. The Pinot Noir grapes are destemmed and fermented in open vats for up to one month to extract color, aroma and tannins. Individual Premiers Crus are aged in oak barrels for 18 months before blending.

The bright, lifted red fruit is supported by cherries, dried strawberries, apple skin, chalk and potpourri. The midweight palate has a high-tension mouthfeel and piercing acidity, rounded out by a grippy yet polished finish. A blend of 12 vineyards, not bottled individually, this is a great representation of the AOC for the vintage.
