2021 Domaine Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru "Toussaints"

A slightly more elegant, and certainly more expressive, nose features notes of both red and dark currant, violet and pretty spice wisps. The sleek, delineated and utterly delicious medium weight flavors exude a more evident bead of minerality on the balanced, sneaky long and youthfully austere finale. Like the Bataillère, this would benefit from developing better depth though more should develop if given a chance. * Outstanding!*

Of the trio of the Morot Beaune wines at the sixty dollar point, it is very hard to pick and choose a favorite. All of them are wonderful! For me, the "Toussaints" has the slightest notch up because of the extremely pretty violet nose. It is simply a pleasure to just smell the darn thing! Tart candied cherries, crunchy minerals, cranberry compote. A real delight and just flat out one of the prettiest Burgundies that I have had in quite a while.
