Les Chouacheux Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Beaune, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Nose is tamarind, pine forest, sour cherry and damson plum. Very clean, transparent, and juicy. Minimal extract. Ripe, not overly so, with an unexpected degree of sweetness. Easygoing, and likeable, even if it’s not the tightest package. Finish flattens out a bit.

What a nose. Huge and expressive with early season cherries and remarkable spice. Just stunning and expansive. Super elegant and juicy and just coats the palate in a nimble way. Man this is the most red riesling styled Burgundy I have ever tasted. So fresh and energetic with loads of soft and ripe tannins that cut a gorgeous swath across the palate. So pure. Stunningly good. An all time Beaune 1er cru for me. As the airs out it gathers finesse and the tiniest bit of opulence. Fruit gets sweeter. But all so nimble.

Dec 13th, 2022Smoking nose of bright tangy mid to late season red cherries. Ethereal, confectionary and gorgeous. Really bright and lifted. Expansive and deeply aromatic. Layered and full of nuance. Really terrific nose. 9.6. Just stunning. Palate is sweet, silky, gamey and just flat out gorgeous with a very expressive hit of delicate and elegant minerality. This is mindblowing. Did not expect this to be that great. Beautiful light and translucent color as well. Such fine tannins. Hit of licorice develops on the nose. Really wonderful sweetness but also terrific depth and such finesse. Usually Beaune is more bigger and brawny but this one. Blind I’d say Volnay. Very impressive.

Still a year or two too young for optimal drinking. Some frisky wood notes are still there.
Nose:
Palate: early season cherries. More plum as it opens. Some spice.
