Beaune Clos des Fèves - Monopole
1er Cru
2022
Grape Variety : Pinot Noir
Soil : Clay and limestone
Site : A Chanson "monopole" in the very heart of the first Growths vineyards of Beaune. The vineyard covering 3.80 ha is located on a mid slope. The "Clos des Fèves" was already known in the 14th century under the latin word "Fae"
The Vintage 2022 : After a winter characterized by marked variations in temperature between January and February, spring started with mild temperatures. A sequence of cold weather in April was followed by warm temperatures in May but the lack of water was very noticeable and could not be compensated by the rainy storms of June. Summer was marked by several and long heat waves and the storms of the end of August were most welcome. The harvest at Chanson started on August 30 with a team of 100 persons and ended on September 13. 2022 vintage was quite generous both in volume and quality and the red wines are generous and well-balanced with an outstanding crunchy fruit.
Tasting : Bright ruby color. Delicate fragrances of roses mixed with intense aromas of cooked red berries (strawberry jam, cherry jam) and chocolate on a hint of vanilla. Complex, well balanced. Tight and fleshy texture. Beautiful fruit expression. Long and elegant finish with spicy notes. Scores : 17/20 JANCIS ROBINSON - 95/100 and 5 stars Jasper Morris/Inside Burgundy
Food pairing : Game (pheasant), poultry and all the classic cheeses (Epoisses, Langres).
