Côte de Beaune 2020 (red)
2020 will remain in the memory for many reasons. Not only was it the year of lockdowns and pandemic; it was also a unique and very satisfactory vintage in Bourgogne. This vintage was an historically early one, from budburst right through to harvest. The hot and sunny weather also ensured the grapes were bursting with health on the vines. Even more surprisingly, tasting has confirmed that despite the high temperatures and almost constant drought conditions, in addition to their rich aromas, the wines are also revealing a freshness that is as unexpected as it is remarkable.
Côte de Beaune reds are wines that are close to perfection. With wonderful color, aromatic intensity, and quality, they are truly exemplary. On the nose, they offer an explosion of summer and hedgerow fruits, spices, and blond tobacco, while in the mouth, they are perfectly balanced. These wines are fleshy and full-bodied, with a tasty finish and surprising length.
