The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Les Teurons bursts with aromas of cherries, wild berries, cassis and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, rich and ample, it's a fleshy, enveloping, textural wine that's generous and elegant.

The Bouchard holding is up slope on the limestone, the first vineyard to be picked. Rich intense purple. There is a good energy to the bouquet, as much red fruit as black, a fine thick texture of ripe fruit with some attractive oak. This Teurons is riper than the Clos de la Mousse but was picked in good time.
Barrel Sample: 90-92

The domaine-owned parcel here is 2.3ha in size on pure limestone soil, facing due east. This is among the most early-ripening parcels. The grapes produced a wine with super-ripe aromas of red and black fruit, with a pronounced saline/mineral edge and a prominent floral tone. The texture is round and full-bodied, with somewhat assertive tannins that will help the wine to age gracefully for 10-15 years.
