Domaine Michel Lafarge Beaune 'Aigrots' 1er Cru Rouge 2022

A 0.66 plot planted in 1949, 1964, 2012 Clay/limestone gravelly soil with red clay. 100% de-stemmed, not crushed, ambient yeast fermentation, aged in barrels (0-15% new), no fining, no filtration.

‘ The 2022 Beaune Clos des Aigrots 1er Cru, which was the last cuvée to be racked, has a bright nose with dark cherries, raspberry and light sous-bois aromas that will knit together during the rest of its élevage. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, perhaps just a tad unsettled post-racking. Still, there is impressive concentration, backbone, and firm grip on the finish with a sapid aftertaste. Cellar this for 4-5 years to smooth down its edges. Drink 2027-2047’ (90-92) points, Neal Martin, Vinous Jan 2024
