Maison Shaps Beaune 2022 Les Verottes

The 2022 vintage was hotter than usual, with a drought in the end of July and into early August. Our older vines were able to compensate for the lack of water, and a the result was a deeper concentration of fruit flavors. Notes red fruit are apparent immediately on the nose, especially raspberry and cherry, with some smoke and spice on the finish. This wine is going to be perfect on its own, but will pair nicely with some cave-ripened cheeses, poultry, and charcuterie. Enjoy now, or let the bottle develop in proper cellar conditions for about 3-5 years.
