Beaune 1er Cru Theurons

Wine information: Beaune vineyards are the most extensive of the Côte de Beaune, between Savigny to the north, and Pommard to the south. There are no Grands Crus vineyards in this commune, but there are 36 Premiers Crus. A majority of the Beaune vineyards are located on the slopes so therefore a majority of them are rated Premier Cru and "Theurons" is one of them. "Les Theurons" vineyards consists of four parcels descending the slope above the city of Beaune. Domaine des Héritiers Jadot is the proprietor in Theurons, which was one of the earliest acquisitions in the 1830's. The Beaune Theurons is a pale crimson colour, spicy red fruit on the nose.  Sweet fruit, mellow on the palate and well-balanced.

"Jadot’s 2005 Beaune Theurons exhibits pure black cherry with sage and smoky bacon on the nose. Loaded with sap and juicy fruit character in the mouth, it juxtaposes tart freshness with creamy texture. Sage, resin, black cherry and a hint of maple syrup mark a savory finish that displays fascinating salty-sweet and fruit-smoked meat oscillation. This vigorous and tightly-concentrated wine should reward at least 5-7 years of cellaring. (The name of this site is usually spelled without an “h”.)" 89-91 Points David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, Jun 2007
