Description
A great and rare Beaune wine. A rich red color, the nose is mineral, ripe raspberry with a crumble of vanilla pods. Elegant poise from strong pinot (not oak) tannins, good fruit weight including fresher fruits like red currant and medium to high acidity. Excellent ageing potential and the aromas will complex after 5 years of bottle evolution to offer up spicy and gamey notes. The Capitain family has owned the vines which make this grand cru since 1460. Cellar this beauty then savor the wine in 2014.
