Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune 2007, Jean-François Bouthenet

This red Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune 2007 kicks off with a refreshing, reflective red colour. Its creamy with strawberries, a soft nose with a hint of vanilla. As one would expect from these higher altitude vineyards there is a hint of astringency on the palate but the light cherry fruit covers over the cracks. A perfectly decent specimen from this craven high hill species.
