Note di degustazione
This monopole has always been cited as one of Beaune's very finest terroirs, and the 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Fèves has turned out very nicely. Bursting from the glass with a fragrant bouquet of raspberries, plums, peonies, bergamot and exotic spices, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with an enveloping core of fruit, succulent acids and melting tannins. But its charm is deceptive, as the underlying raw materials should vouchsafe at least two decades' longevity.

I don’t think the 2017 Beaune 1er Cru Clos Des Fèves matches the brilliant 2015, but it’s not far behind and is certainly a brilliant Côte du Beaune that has loads to love. Revealing a translucent ruby color as well as a terrific perfume of ripe cherries, sappy herbs, spring flowers, and Asian spices, it starts out supple and sweetly fruited, yet shows more and more acidity, cut, and focus with time in the glass. Beautifully balanced, with both acidity and tannins, it’s approachable today yet will be best with 4-5 years of bottle age and cruise for a decade.
A very serious Beaune for this vintage with major structure and a very straight line from the tip of your tongue to the very end of the palate. Lots of cherries and plums with intense, wild-herb overtones. The concentrated tannins power the long finish. Try in 2022.
Monopole. Fairly pale crimson. Very ‘pointed’ focused nose and a slight lack of fruit on the palate – a bit like their Clos des Marconnets. Grainy and desperately needs food. Quite painful acidity at this stage. Damsons. (JR)
