2016 Santenay Clos Beauregard

The sophomore 2016 Santenay 1er Cru Beauregard was fermented in a concrete vat like the 2015. It has a delightful, well-defined bouquet with vivacious, detailed redcurrant and raspberry preserve aromas that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very well-judged acidity, fresh and tensile with a poised and quite tensile finish. This should turn out to be one of David’s best 2016s.
