Jacques Prieur, Beaune Champs Pimont Rouge Size:6x750ml youthfully austere and strikingly long(vinified with 30% whole clusters). Bright ruby color. An ultra fresh, cool and admirably pure nose offers up notes of various red berries, plum, violet and an interesting hint of mandarin orange peel. There is terrific punch to the highly energetic and beautifully well detailed middle weight flavors that also flash plenty of minerality on the youthfully austere and firm finale. This too will require at least a few years of patience. (89 92) 2026+
