The Domaine Moron-Garcia, Beaune Les Tuvilains 2017 is a truly tremendous wine, and for me one of the main discoveries of 2018. The rich and earthy fruit with it’s vivid freshnes and lovely complex extrovert notes does provide a sensational joy and hedonistic pleasure. It’s vibrant, it’s Beaune in the very best way .. showing a lovely playful citrus vivacity. This is surely a producer to follow – and in fact the Winehog flavour of the vintage 2017.
