Domaine Jacques Prieur
2016 Beaune "Champs Pimont" 1er Cru Red barrel
Score: 89-92
Drink: 2026+
Tasting note: Bright ruby color. An ultra-fresh, cool and admirably pure nose offers up notes of various red berries, plum, violet and an interesting hint of mandarin orange peel. There is terrific punch to the highly energetic and beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors that also flash plenty of minerality on the youthfully austere and firm finale. This too will require at least a few years of patience.
