Note di degustazione
(the estate made 45 hectoliters per hectare here, as these vines escaped the frost): Bright, light lemon-yellow. Captivating aromatic lift to the aromas of white peach and flowers. A distinctly more graceful wine than the foregoing samples from frost-affected vineyards, offering subtly perfumed notes of stone fruits, flowers and spices complicated by a saline quality. Not large-scaled but dry, classic and intense, boasting lovely fresh fruit and noteworthy lemony lift on the back end. (12.8% natural alcohol with sound acidity)

(12% potential alcohol chaptalized to 12.7%; little frost effect here; this was racked in December and moved to cuve for a February bottling): Bright, dark red. Spicy raspberry and licorice aromas conveys a rather cool quality. Quite restrained on the palate, offering crunchy flavors of currant, licorice and crushed stone and an impression of brisk acidity. (These vines are planted on very light, thin soil over a lot of small rocks, according to winemaker Nadine Gublin.) Perhaps still a bit youthfully imploded but I find this easy to drink.
The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Féguine has a crisp, red cherry and blueberry-scented bouquet that has just a touch of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, clean red cherry and strawberry fruit, a smooth texture with quite a sensual, fresh finish. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.
