2018 Beaune, Domaine des Croix

This typifies David’s skill: fruit from four separate parcels is very gently handled, with 20% whole-bunch and minimum intervention, resulting in a gloriously dextrous and luminous wine. The limpid colour is just the appetiser for a village-level Beaune that over-delivers. Delicious and silkily welcoming. Drink 2021-2025.
