Aromas of plums, raw cocoa, spices and rose petals preface the 2019 Chorey-lès-Beaune Beaumonts (Domaine Gagey), a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and dynamic wine that's supple and enveloping. From one of the few lieux-dits located on the right site of the route nationale, this is frequently a fine value in the portfolio.

The 2019 Chorey-lès-Beaune Les Beaumonts showed a little reduction on the nose, although one could still perceive ample red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red cherry and strawberry on the entry, giving way to a nicely structured albeit rustic finish with a ferrous note. Give it a year in bottle.
