2021 David Moreau Santenay Rouge 1er Cru 'Beaurepaire' Rouge. Burgundy-FRANCE. 750ml.
The 2021 Santenay Beaurepaire ler Cru has a clean and pure bouquet with precise and pure red cherry and strawberry fruit, wilted rose petal and light violet aromaspercolating through with time. Ihe palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, a little toursquare in style. A small amount ot chalkiness towards the tinish is detailed, thoughnever powerful. t will provide a lot of pleasurable early drinking. (89-91) Vinous, Neal Martin
David Moreau is no longer an emerging star in Burgundy, in the past few vintages he has become a popular fixture at his base in Santenay, the last village of the Cote d'Or. As Burgundy has become increasingly expensive and hard to procure, the world has widened it's search propelling estates like this quickly into the light.
Glowing reviews from Neal Martin and Jancis Robinson have helped too but David sells his wines carefully and for a fair price for the outstanding quality. These are carefully thought about, painstakingly made wines that do show all the nuance and detail we imagine fine Burgundy to have but so very often does not.
