2023 Domaine Chanson Beaune 1er Cru "Clos des Fèves" Monopole

Moderately generous wood stops short of fighting with the liqueur-like black cherry, cassis and spice aromas. The round and plush flavors possess reasonably good concentration as well as bead of minerality that adds to the attractiveness of the mouthfeel, all wrapped in a balanced, long and harmonious finale. Like the Clos des Mouches, this does need to add depth so again, at least a few years of cellaring are in order. (Drink starting 2033)
