Burgundy | 1 | 91 (VN) | HK$38,860.00 | |||||
Vinous (91)The 2022 Beaune Les Prévolles comes from one-third of their own parcels and the rest from a neighbor's plot that is worked by Catharina Sadde and is populated with older vines prone to millerandage. This contains 80% whole bunches (less in 2023) with 20m/g of free SO2. The perfumed nose shows slightly darker fruit than other cuvées, with raspberry, blackberry leaf and a briar hint. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure, a fine line of acidity and a little tension towards the finish. Excellent. |
