"A very crisp, fruity expression, a cuvée vinified from whole grapes as we like them so much. We find all the generosity of a Pinot that will be emulated. A real favorite. (Le Guide des bonnes affaires du vin 2016 - Gerbelle & Maurange) Cuvée Les Beaumonts comes from a landlocked parcel between Savigny-les-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton. This ideal geographical location lends both body and bouquet to Sylvain Dussort's Chorey-les-Beaune.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

Born of winegrower and cooper parents, Sylvain Dussort and his wife set up in 1982, and now farm 6.5 hectares in regional and village appellations in Meursault and Chorey-lès-Beaune. Their viticultural methods are opposed to systematic pest control, and vinification uses only indigenous yeasts, in the Burgundian tradition, with barrel ageing. Sylvain is also an advocate of the new Bourgogne Côte d'Or appellation, which he proudly claims as of the 2017 vintage.

Note and review by M. DIDIER P. Published on 23/07/2016

Attractive, brilliant, medium-dark color. Full-bodied cherry nose, followed by mushroom and musk fragrances. Fresh cherry on the palate, with sap-like tannins without being aggressive. Good finish. Ideal for grilled meats and simply prepared poultry. In two years' time, a perfect accompaniment to elaborate cuisine. A good product that will soon be showing off to others born under more promising appellations!
