2020 Chorey-lès-Beaune Rouge, Le Grand Saussy, Domaine Camus-Bruchon & Fils, Burgundy

This is a delicious, approachable Chorey made mostly in large oak barrels to avoid any excessively toasty character. Bursting with red berries, it is sweet and juicy with a plump sweetness in the middle and stony tannins on the finish. The vines here were planted in the 1960s, and Guillaume explained that their deep root systems helped resist the drought in 2020 and therefore alcohol levels stayed low. This comes in at a modest and refreshing 13%.
