Domaine Boris Champy Aux Coucherias Beaune 1er Cru 2022

This has the ripe and generous fruit that we expect from this Beaune, but also touches of blood oranges and summer flowers. Succulent red fruit with an excellent structure of fine tannins and lively acidity on the medium-bodied palate. Wonderful freshness in the positively firm finish. From a vineyard with southwest exposure, hence the name, which means facing the sunset. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Unfiltered. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. Score – 94. (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, June 22, 2024)
