Beaune Les Bons Feuvres, Domaine Pascal Prunier-Bonheur 2017
This openly fruity Beaune is a generous but not overblown wine that is a great food partner to while away a good lunch or dinner with. It has generous red berry and bone bone anglais aromas, a medium to full body with a silky palate. The tannins are evident but unobtrusive. As usual at this domaine it's a great glass of wine. The fifth generation of a wine-growing family, Pascal Prunier-Bonheur took over the estate in 1983; it now operates 6 hectares of vines spread across Saint-Romain in Beaune through to Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Meursault and Pommard.
Santenay Rouge, Domaine Benoit Girardin 2023
"A classic Santenay blend from two parcels: the young vines in Le Champs de Sud bring freshness and bright raspberry fruit, while the 60-year-old vines in Le Champ Claude add structure and depth. The result is a harmonious wine with vivid red cherry, dark raspberry, and fine, silky tannins. The finish is persistent and satisfying." Our note Son of Yves and nephew of Vincent, Benoit Girardin has steadily carved out his own reputation and is already turning heads in the Parisian restaurant scene. 2023 was a standout vintage for Girardin, delivering both quantity and quality. While white yields were typical, the reds saw an unprecedented abundance. The whites were harvested first, beginning on September 7th, with the reds following on September 10th. Whites show a harmonious balance between sugar and acidity, with greater maturity and slightly softer acidity compared to 2022. The reds are all 100% destemmed with no fining or filtration, while the whites retain purity and definition with meticulous filtration.
