Beaune Clos des Ursules, Louis Jadot 2013

An attractively layered nose combines notes of red currant, raspberry and cherry with soft earth and floral hints. The vibrant, delineated and intense medium-bodied flavors possess solid mid-palate concentration before culminating in a lingering and complex finish that exhibits good if not perfect) balance. By the admirably impressive standards of this wine 2013 will not go into the books as a great one but considerably how badly hailed on Beaune was in 2013 this is nothing short of remarkable.

Monopole. Pale ruby. Rusty pale rim. Very light impact on the nose. Very pure and well etched. Notably fine. Lots of lovely ripe fruit in the middle. A real success and only Burgundy could have produced it. Not a heavyweight but really beautiful balance. Good aftertaste – really appetising and tasty. Drink 2017-2032.
