Joseph Drouhin Chorey Les Beaune 2021 750ml

A very pleasant wine. Bright, clear red colour. Aromas are surprising in their intensity and fruit. On the palate, a tender, supple, graceful, round body. Very flavourful in the aftertaste, with a hint of blackberry jam. When the wine gets older, wild blackberry is the dominant aroma. After 3 or 5 years, the wine takes on a distinctive smell of truffle and undergrowth evolving towards notes of venison.

91 Points - Vinous
From Drouhin's own parcel augmented by purchased fruit, the 2021 Chorey-lès-Beaune has attractive brambly red fruit intermixed with tertiary scents. More vigour than the Rully. The palate is vivid with red cherries and crushed strawberry, with fine depth. Though not earth-shattering in complexity, this has a joie-de-vivre that I appreciate. This could well represent great value. Barrel Sample: 89-91
