Note di degustazione
The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Dames Hospitalières is a Hospices de Beaune bottling raised by Mounir Saouma of Lucien Le Moine for American importer Vintus. A wine of remarkable purity, the 2018 dazzles with energy and nuance. The aromatics alone are immediately enticing, but the 2018 really shines on the palate, where its crisp, beautifully delineated red/purplish fruit flavors come alive. Naturally the 2018 is very, very young, but it clearly has the pedigree and nuance to develop beautifully for many years to come. It is no crime to open a bottle now, as the 2018 is supremely delicious and ready to provide immense pleasure. It’s the sort of wine that is opened and then finished in very short order.

The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Dames Hospitalières (Hospices de Beaune) offers up a lavishly oak-inflected bouquet of vanilla pod, warm spices and dark berry fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy palate that's sumptuous and enveloping, its charming core of fruit underpinned by velvety tannins and succulent acids. The combination of Le Moine and the Hospices—two producers known for their generous use of new oak—certainly results in a wine that's heavily marked by its élevage, but I wouldn't bet against it blossoming with bottle age, as it's structurally very refined.
