The 2023 Red Beaune 1er Cru Clos du Roi comes from a stony, sandy, well-draining terroir that naturally yields light, vibrant Pinot Noir. Here, the emphasis is all on pleasure: the wine is silky and fresh from start to finish, with juicy red fruit flavours—think redcurrant and raspberry—that keep it lively and inviting. The tannins are smooth and supple, making it an easygoing, versatile bottle to enjoy with charcuterie, pâté en croûte, or a slice of Saint-Nectaire cheese. |
