A discreet application of wood sets off a spicier mix of plum, dark currant and violet scents. The succulent but well-detailed and vibrant middle weight flavors possess a lovely sense of underlying tension while exhibiting good focus on the slightly less complex finale. This should drink reasonably well after only 3 to 5 years if that's your preference.

The 2017 Beaune Clos de la Féguine 1er Cru is a monopole and it is completely de-stemmed. It has a fresh, clean raspberry and cranberry scented bouquet with hints of vanilla pod. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a fine line of acidity, well structured with a brisk, minerally finish. Good potential - I expect this to land towards the top of my banded score.
