A fantastic buy in Red Burgundy - very little imported to the US. Limited. The Beaune Blanches Fleur 1er cru is a quite rare bird coming from a relatively unknown terroir neighboring Beaune Clos du Roi. This wine is produced from the upper and sandy part of this triangular vineyard. This terroir makes a quite interesting wine with a lovely full pinot expression. In the bouquet pure vibrant fruit with notes of dark cherries, raspberries – with hints of pomegranate. On the palate quite weighty and refined fruit – very finely focused by the powerful 2013 acidity – contrastful. Lovely nerve and energy

Aromatically this had a subtle smoke, sweet red fruit, and even a toasted marshmallow thing going on (I stand behind it). On the palate it's light and bright and just right. With some age on this it'd be a knockout
