The 2016 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de la Féguine has a crisp, red cherry and blueberry-scented bouquet that has just a touch of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, clean red cherry and strawberry fruit, a smooth texture with quite a sensual, fresh finish. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.
