Domaine Vincent Ledy Chorey-les-Beaune 2016

The Chorey-les-Beaune from Vincent Ledy is a special cuvée that in a mysterious way brings many of the things I like about Burgundy into one enjoyable glass. Let’s face it: This is not from a seriously big terroir, although Les Beaumonts is one of the very best of Chorey. The 2016 version has, however, significant mineral weight that makes this wine interesting drinking. This, combined with good concentration and intensity of fruit, gives the wine plenty of oomph and backbone. What impresses me most is the fruit’s vivid energy; the lively, relatively dark 2016 expression spiced with some vivid yellow/orange cloudberry notes that give the wine a hedonistic lift and energy. The freshness is delightful, with an ample, vivid feel; drinking very well indeed. Perhaps not quite blowing the socks off Suckling-points-wise, but nevertheless a vin d`émotion.
