Description

2017 Beaune Rouge, Clos des Aigrots, 1er Cru, Domaine Michel Lafarge, BurgundyVery fresh nose and a bone dry finish. More obvious fruit and more acidity than the 1990 Krug served alongside. Admirably long but still developing. 17+ 20, Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson. com (November 2021)

Very perfumed nose of red and black fruits

refreshing acidity

Adding a touch of spice there is a warming character that becomes apparent on the palate

The opposite of the masculine Clerc Milon

it is extremely enjoyable on its own after a few hours in a decanter

it’s still youthful but drinking well

This preserves the CO2 in the wine which means less SO2 is necessary

That’s exactly what comes through in the 2004 Dom Pérignon

This will need more time in barrel and then a lot longer in bottle

flowers and licorice are some of the many nuances that emerge from a wine that represents a quintessential expression of Chambolle and the vintage
