  Guessed this as a Burg but got the appellation completely wrong - thought it was a Vosne 1er instead with the wine having very bright red fruit with a mineral finish (which unfortunately got more muddled with air). At least I was in the right ballpark for the year - the ripe fruit and good, but not imposing structure that led me to guess 2009 over 2005 when I was hesitating between the two. Another terrific QPR wine.

  This wine is still young, a bit muted on the nose. It is tannic, structured, and savory but with plenty of elegant red cherry flavors. It is not sexy but a fine example of a Beaune 1er red. I would only be slightly worried that the structure might last longer than the fruit. I think it should be best in 3 or so years but definitely can be drunk now with some decanting or time in the glass.
  
  But I am really nitpicking here. I paid around USD50 bucks for this. For the price this is magical.
