The 1er Cru Chouacheux lies near the bottom of the slope, just below Vignes Franches, in the southern portion of Beaune, an area known for more muscular wines. This 1995 has developed marvelously, displaying clean mushroomy nuances. Very refined, it’s paradoxically delicate and powerful. It shows that, in the right hands, the best Beaune 1er cru evolve beautifully with bottle age.
