Chorey-lès-Beaune

Located at the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the commune of Chorey-Lès-Beaune lies next to Savigny-Lès-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton. The wines here are predominately red. The calcareous clay soil overlies an ancient stony alluvial fan and is therefore very well drained.

Tasting

The nose features notes of toast, red fruit and jam, which with ageing move onto more musky and gamey notes of leather and spices. Full-bodied and velvety, this wine has lovely tannic structure that leads to a long, subtle finish.

Food/wine pairing

Ideal with finely prepared red meat dishes, feathered game or delicate cheeses.

Serving and keeping
