the Fèves is the class of these Beaune 1ers

(89-92)/2015+

The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess excellent complexity as well as focused power on the compact and youthfully austere yet impressive persistent finale

with a peppery nuance adding bite and a sexy floral note building in the glass

By no means a blockbuster (in a vintage that produced almost endless numbers of them)

Chateau Marsannay, Vosne Romanee Orveaux other_regions_australia the Fèves is the class(from a . 28 ha parcel). This presents a completely different aromatic profile with its overtly spicy aromas of black pinot fruit, violet, plum and hoisin that are trimmed in soft wood nuances. There is good volume but also fine delineation to the delicious and attractively textured medium bodied flavors, all wrapped in a lightly mineralinflected and beautifully well balanced finale. This too is worth considering. (90 92) 2021+
