  Enjoyed it more tonight - wasn't paying so close attention but didn't notice oak.

  Nose of cherry and peppermint.
  
  Very supple and crystalline palate, with a dominant limestone. The juice is tense with a nice acidic frame and a simple structure. It’s savory and very mineral. Good finish on the cherry.
  
  A pleasant wine and very good value for money.

  CSW's copy is below....only thing I'd add is this has a very very dark cherry profile to me. And the fruit tastes too much like toasted oak barrel.
  
  From vines planted in 1960, high on the slope in Beaune just above the 1er Cru L'Ecu, facing east, in a terroir of clay and pebbles over limestone. (The name refers to "toppe" meaning field or fallow land before planting vines, Bizot is a common family name in Burgundy) The grapes from this high elevation vineyard are harvested late and undergo a short pre-fermentation maceration, aging is in two and three year-old 500 liter barrels. The 2021 shows high-toned aromas of ripe black cherry fruit with rose, black pepper, earth and citrus, quite elegant. The palate is silky and very "calcaire" with sappy black cherry - intensely mineral with firm acidity, earth and black fruits that linger in the long finish. This is a quite elegant and "mineral" Burgundy at a very reasonable price, that will benefit from a few hours open or three to five years of cellaring.
