2024 Beaune 1er Cru Les Sizies, Domaine Jean Guiton

This had the best phenolic ripeness of all of Guillaume’s vineyards, as the vines are old and the bunches and berries were small. He picked just on the right side of ripeness and then was very careful with the extraction to make sure he didn’t over-egg things. He seems to have played it just right as the tannins are present but perfectly integrated whilst the fruit is dark but still very Pinot with an underlying sense of freshness. There is an awful lot of wine here for the money and this should age well. Drink from 2029
