2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Epenotes, Domaine Buisson-Battault

This is a tiny plot that produces just 3 barrels of juice. Francois used 25% whole bunch which works perfectly adding a subtle floral element and a crunchy bite and freshness. This clear direction and purity of fruit makes for a lovely contrast with the blurry earthiness of so many wines from this part of the Côte d’Or.
