Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Beaune Clos des Feves from Chanson has a ripe red cherry and bergamot-scented nose, slightly tinny at first, although that dissipates with time as it becomes more candied and pastille-like. The palate is structured, a little aloof on the entry. The acidity is nicely judged and there is good extraction on the finish that obviously needs another couple of years to mellow and coalesce. This is an discretely impressive showing.
