Camille Giroud, 2020 Aux Cras, Premier Cru – Beaune

The wine has a pale ruby color. The nose offers fruit, juiciness and a pleasant spiciness. The wine expresses aromas of ripe red and black fruits (Morello cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, Bigarreau cherry, blueberry, blackberry with a sweet touch of blue plum and fig), sweet spices (clove, nutmeg, cinnamon) with a very light note of bitter cocoa and floral notes in the background (lily, lilac, dried cornflower). There is also an aniseed and smoky notes after aeration. On the palate, the wine offers a lot of juiciness, fruit and a nice tangy structure with a lively and salivating acidity on the finish. The flavors are fresh and juicy: the wine expresses notes of red fruits (red cherry, raspberry, red currant, Garriguette strawberry), dark fruits in the background (blueberry, fresh blackcurrant), as well as elegant floral touches (dried rose, cornflower, lily), spicy (clove, nutmeg, white pepper, licorice) and slightly smoky. The tannins are melted and velvety. The finish is long, tasty and tangy. Wine on the fruits, the roundness and delicacy, with beautiful complexity and a well-built structure, but elegant and refined.
