Domaine Chanson Beaune Clos due Roi 1er Cru Domaine 2018 (91 VM)
“The 2018 Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru has a tight but nicely focused bouquet with scents of blackberry, boysenberry, wild hedgerow and light pressed iris. I like the vigor here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a tarry texture and a slightly rustic, spicy finish.”
