2019 Louis Jadot Beaune Theurons

The 2019 Beaune Les Theurons 1er Cru (spelled or misspelled with an "h" instead of "Les Teurons”!) has a generous nose of morello cherries and orange blossom, a little airier than the Les Grèves. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins; not a deep or grippy Les Theurons. Lightly spiced with a pleasant bitter note that gets the saliva flowing on the finish. Not long-term but attractive. 89-91 points

Mid-red, this has a classy satisfying lower slope nose, generous fruit rather than edge, all well balanced. Very satisfying on the palate too, well rounded, with a good tannin and acid balance and extremely persistent. 91-93 points

Bursting with aromas of sweet red berries, rose hips, peonies, raw coca and spices, the 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Les Theurons (Domaine Gagey) is medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, its fleshy core of fruit framed by powdery tannins. This has turned out nicely. 90-92+ points
