Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Couchereaux

Notes - 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 “Les Couchereaux” is one of them. This Premier Cru rouge has a southerly exposure and the soil is clay and chalk with some alluvial soil on the surface. The soil is deep, well drained and warms up quickly. This wine has a deep beautiful ruby colour. Because of its exceptional exposure to sunlight, this wine expresses strong aromas of ripe red fruits and also expresses good supple tannins. It is a structured, full and perfectly balanced wine. It will make a perfect accompaniment to delicate meat dishes as well as most cheeses.
