Wide and ripe with a background caramel note. Fuller in the mouth with plenty of acidity – though slightly tart acidity behind. Quite a savoury burst in the mid-palate before fading. In 2007 a more mineral impression to this Beaune that the norm.

The nose is rather similar to the villages Meursault, understated and precise. Broad-shouldered, rather simple flavours only hint at the concentrated base. There is good acidity providing a very nice balance, but today this wine showed little.
