2007 Domaine Michel Lafarge Beaune Les Greves 1er Cru

Bright, lightish colour. Fragrant and just a little earthy. Firm, slightly chewy but it's the lovely red fruit that dominates even though there's density and richness. Very accomplished. (JH)

Medium red, less deep than the Aigrots. Slightly rustic aromas of redcurrant, leather and tobacco. Fat, supple and sweet, offering a seamless, mouthfilling texture and a mineral element in the middle palate to provide lift. Finishes broad and lush, with dusty tannins and lingering cherry flavor.
