Domaine Poulleau Chorey-lès-Beaune 2023

£37.99

This is a delightfully supple Chorey’ with moderate, sweet tannins. On the nose there are notes of Morello cherry, and fresh and compressed raspberry. Chorey-lès-Beaune typically producers wines which are  more elegant than powerful, and which is exactly what we have here. The fruit comes from 50+ year old vines, grown on the limestone and Red Marl soils of the area. The delicious, succulent red fruit profile carries through to the palate where there is a subtle earthy note, and delicate sweet spice flavours. But the focus is on freshness and purity of fruit, rather than over extraction and heavy oak spice, and the wines spends a year in barrel with only 20% new oak before light filtration and bottling.
