Vinous Neal Martin - 08 Oct 25
The 2021 Beaune Epenottes 1er Cru has an attractive nose with a subtle stem addition lending a little sous-bois character that complements the red berry fruit. It has more precision and mineralité compared to its peers. The palate is lithe and harmonious on the entry with pure red berry fruit, white pepper and fine grip on the finish. Overall, this is a classy Beaune 1er Cru and deserves a hearty round of applause in the context of the challenging growing season. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
