LOUIS JADOT BEAUNE THEURONS 1ER CRU 2018 WINE ADVOCATE 91

Beaune Theurons is considered one of the finest Premiers Crus in the commune. Its aromatic bouquet, full body, fine structure and generous fruit culminate in a lingering finish. This wine will develop favorably in the bottle for 10 to 15 years.

Pairs well with delicate meat dishes and most cheeses.

Charming and demonstrative, the 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Les Theurons (Domaine Gagey) wafts from the glass with lovely aromas of cherries, berries, sweet soil tones, licorice and spices. Medium to full-bodied, this is a fleshy and enveloping wine, with an ample core of fruit, succulent acids and fine, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully chalky finish. This is a fine effort that will require a bit more patience than I perceived in barrel.
