2022 Beaune 1er Cru Epenottes, Domaine Ballot-Millot

Charles took over from his father Philippe Ballot at the start of the new Millenium, although his father was still quite youthful at that time. But it was clear even then that Charles was destined to do something special at the domaine so why delay? As they say, if you’re good enough you’re old enough! Twenty years on and Charles has firmly established himself as one of the top names of Meursault. He has around 10 hectares of which about 20% are red. He also has a good smattering of old vines. The climat "Les Epenottes" is located near the famous climat of "Les Epenots" de Pommard. This is a very balanced wine with delicious notes of raspberry and supported by velvety tannins. Great length, this wine will not disappoint!
