2021 Beaune Clos de Dessus des Marconnets

The Labets opted to blend all their Beaune holdings, including their premiers crus, into a generic 2021 Beaune Rouge, and the result is a charming, supple, sensual wine evocative of plums, sweet berries, orange and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, fleshy and giving, with a saline finish, it will offer considerable appeal to readers who love the red Burgundy of yesteryear.
