2020, Beaune 1er Les Chouacheux
Domaine Chantal Lescure

Appearance:
A radiant ruby red with medium intensity, showing a touch of garnet at the rim. The wine is clear and vibrant, indicating its youth and vitality.

Nose:
The bouquet opens with an elegant medley of red berries, including ripe cherries, wild strawberries, and red currants. These are complemented by floral notes of violets and a delicate earthy undertone, with hints of forest floor, dried leaves, and subtle spice from well-integrated oak, such as cinnamon and clove.

Palate:
The palate is refined and silky, with a medium body and bright acidity that accentuates the purity of the fruit. Red fruit flavors of cherry and raspberry dominate, layered with savory notes of crushed herbs and a touch of mushroom. The tannins are fine-grained and velvety, providing structure and balance without overpowering the elegance of the wine. A whisper of oak imparts gentle hints of vanilla and a light smoky edge.

Finish:
The finish is long and graceful, leaving lingering notes of red fruit, soft spice, and a subtle mineral-driven freshness that speaks to its terroir.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
This wine pairs well with roasted duck, herb-crusted lamb, or mushroom-based dishes like risotto. It also shines alongside charcuterie, soft-ripened cheeses, and dishes with earthy or truffle accents.

Drinking Window:
Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit and approachable elegance, or cellar for 5–8 years to allow further development of tertiary flavors and complexity.
