RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

Poised between the lighter wines of the northern Beaune vineyards and the fuller southern vineyards, this premier cru has produced a concentrated wine with tannins that will propel it into long aging. Rich, smoky fruits and juicy acidity add to the ripe, full character of this wine.

16Jancis Robinson

Lifted and pretty. Lively fruit combined with a dusty dry texture which gives a kind of elegance. Acidity is marked here as the fruit is quite light. Just in balance.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Beaune, Les Bas Des Teurons

Les Bas des Teurons is a 15.7-acre Premier Cru vineyard located in the central part the Beaune appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. Though Beaune has no Grand Cru vineyards, it has 44 vineyards that are either partly or completely Premier Cru. Clive Coates has written that in the central section of the Beaune appellation is “where you will find the finest examples of premier cru in Beaune.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
