Beaune 1er Cru Coucherias François Labet 1998

The wine

Beaune Premier Cru Coucherias is a wine produced in small quantities. The nose expresses aromas of red and black berries (redcurrant, cherry, blackberry), along with peppery undergrowth notes. The palate is supple, with well-integrated tannins and a fresh finish. This wine requires several years' cellaring for its tannins to age and mellow, letting it express its full complexity. It will make a good pairing for cuts of beef and some types of game.
