2020 Beaune 1. Cru Les Champs Pimont Domaine Henri Felettig

(from a .50 ha parcel). Firm reduction. The succulent, sleek and rounded middle weight flavors possess a succulent, even sappy, mouthfeel before concluding in a slightly grippy and chewy finish that is further supported by bright acidity. This is hard to predict how it will age out as the tannins seem potentially firmer than the concentration can buffer.

Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berries, licorice, rose petals, baking chocolate and loamy soil, the 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Les Champs-Pimont is medium to full-bodied, rich and gourmand, with a fleshy core of fruit and fine, powdery tannins. Despite a late malolactic fermentation, it's already nicely integrated.
