2021 Chorey-lès-Beaune Rouge, Le Grand Saussy, Domaine Camus-Bruchon & Fils, Burgundy

Often somewhat overlooked in the past, Chorey-lès-Beaune is benefitting from Burgundy’s warmer and drier growing seasons of recent years. Coupled with a serious and skilful grower such as Guillaume Camus, Chorey is a serious proposition for good-value wines. In the cool 2021 vintage, Guillaume has managed to make a characterful and charming wine with a floral perfume and mouth-filling yet delicate red fruit. The tannins are fine and powdery, reflecting the alluvial, gravel soils of Le Grand Saussy.
