2014 Chorey Les Beaune

The 2014 Chorey les Beaune Villages has a lifted, high-toned bouquet, a little metallic at first but with plenty of fruit underneath. (A second sample from different barrels was more fruit-driven and showed much less of the oak.) The palate is sweet and fleshy, with oodles of lush red cherry and raspberry fruit with a touch of blueberry on the effervescent finish. Once that oak is absorbed, this will be a "cheeky" Chorey to enjoy over the next 4-5 years.
