  This wine isn't mind blowing, but it certainly is emotional.
  It's a wine that reminds me why I like Burgundy, and proves that Beaune's 1er Crus still have some pedigree to show off. Fairly charming and lean initially, showing a bit of prickly, crisp red fruit, but it slowly turned darker as it opened up, and put on some more weight. This wine is such a charmer right now, but will likely become a very classical, sous-bois wine with time. I need to grab a few more, and save some for 5-10 years.
  
  Bravo!

  13.5% alcohol. Long cork with a tolerable amount of defects. Youthful colour of medium density.
  Very engaging nose with wild cherry dominating redcurrant in a stunning display of purity. No oak, vg intensity and oodles of class; a calling card for Burgundy Pinot. The mouth is very lively with the same feel of purity; the acidity is high but not piercing. Highly satisfying, and a great match for roast duck. This has the stuffing to age a good few years (the wine, not the duck...) but it is irresistible in its glorious youth.
  An excellent burgundy of the nimble, elegant and high pitched variety. Very successful in this instance, but if the winemaking produces a wine of such acidity in a ripe year, I wonder what leaner vintages like 2021 will yield.
