2022 Pierre Labet Beaune 1er Les Coucherias Rouge

road and expressive, this opens with ripe red cherry, red plum, and pomegranate, layered with peony, gentle spice, and a warm limestone depth that reflects the sun-favored slope of the clos. The palate is medium-bodied and generous, with supple red fruit framed by polished tannins and a smooth, integrated line of acidity that favors flow over grip. Subtle savory notes of oolong tea and damp stone emerge through the mid-palate, carrying into a long, balanced finish. A confident, approachable Beaune Premier Cru that leans into breadth and charm while retaining structure and composure.
