Domaine Maillard Pere et Fils Chorey les Beaune Blanc AC from France, Burgundy, Chorey-les-Beaune by Domaine Maillard Pere et Fils Chorey les Beaune (6 x 75 cl)
The fruit on the rounded nose develops on the palate of this well made wine from some of Bouchards best vineyards. The well defined tannins give power and complexity to this deep red coloured wine before giving way to a long finish. (12 x 75 cl)
The wine has been vinified in traditional open-top fermenters and then matured for atleast 12 months in the subterranean cellars in Beaune. A wine with classic feminine style.
The red wines that come from the vineyards surrounding the picturesque town of Beaune remain relatively undiscovered compared to its smaller, more famous neighbours. For this reason Beaune Rouge AC still represents extremely good value whilst providing an appealing introduction to the red wines of the Cote de Beaune. The wines from this section of the Appellation are full and rich with an impressive range of berry-fruit flavours and ripe tannins. Their colour is deep and concentrated with a finish that is to be savoured. Open-vat fermentation followed by 18 months in oak barrels has produced a wine with a garnet-red appearance, clean nose and expressed hints of red currants. This was reflected on the palate along with a high concentration of tannins and a brambly finish.
