Press review
- Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2018, 88/100, James Suckling
A simple red with plum and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Medium body. Drink now.
- Bourgogne-Hautes Côtes de Beaune 2018 - Burghound.com, Allen Meadows - Spring 2020 - "Nicely detailed"
The nose features the essence of various red berries, earth and a whiff of spice. There is better verve to the nicely detailed and lightly stony middle weight flavors that offer depth and persistence on the firm saline-inflected finale.
