Beaune, Les Sizies, 1er Cru, 2024

Quite a lean and brittle fruited sort of nose while on the palate there’s a delicate, light-to-mid weight character and pale, floral red berry fruit set amidst crisp tannins. A third whole bunches contribute to the flighty character. Always an early drinker, this feels as if brushed with a feather. Ready to drink upon landing. A bottling that hails from 35-year-old vines on clay soils, fermented with one third whole bunches and 10% new oak. Invariably designed to be broached young.
