Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Clos des Avaux 2015 Magnum

155th Hospices De Beaune Wine Auction on the 15th November 2015 - Beaune 1er Cru, Cuvée Clos des Avaux Hospices de Beaune 2015

This 1^st Growth Beaune Cuvée is always a wine of good fruit, but requiring significant barrel- and bottle-ageing to bring it to softness and complex maturity.  Colour is rich purple, the nose being powerful, ripe and complex.  1^st impression on the palate is of full, rich fruitiness, continuing all the way to a beautifully gentle, refreshing finish.  Long-fermented and macerated (23 days) this wine has personality and poise, with lovely balance.
