The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Champs Pimont was also impacted by the frost. 50% of the production was saved but they decided not to destem one of the blocks in order to maintain volume. The whole stem addition works well on the nose, quite natural and refined, dark berry fruit mixed with sous bois and rose petals. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe tannin, fresh in the mouth, crisp and focused with a bright, tensile finish that is a joy. This comes recommended—excellent.
A whiff of the exotic can be found on the aromas of white peach, floral, pear, citrus and mineral reduction. There is a bit more mid-palate volume to the round yet reasonably precise middle weight flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the slightly more complex and persistent finale.
