Description
The name "Beaune" comes from "Belen", the Celtic god, and "Belena" the river that crosses the city.
Some of the vineyards, surrounded by small walls and paths still extant today, were already cultivated at the time of the Gallo-Romans.
A document dating from the beginning of the 19th Century mentions a place-name called "champs de M. Pimonts" (the fields of Mr. Pimonts).
Tasting
The 2016 crop was low in quantity but its quality provides a nice surprise. The mature grapes gave deep ruby-coloured wines displaying notes of black fruit mingled with hints of violet and spices. The palate is round and generous. The wines are typical of their terroir.
"An elegant and seductive wine. Intense ruby colour. On the nose, aromas of small red berries such as raspberry or red currant. With age, the aromas acquire hints of clove and a slightly smoky note. On the palate, the tannins are elegant and supple; there is a harmonious balance between acidity and texture. Flavours linger a long time in the aftertaste".
