The 2015 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules from Louis Jadot is absolutely superb, wafting from the glass with a youthful but incipiently complex nose of ripe cherry, plum, dried rose petal and subtle forest floor. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and gourmand, with a lavishly textural attack, velvety tannins and a deep core of succulent fruit. This is one of the high points of an exceptional vintage for the Beaune hillside.
While aromatically similar to the Boucherottes this is even denser, in fact this is almost unctuously rich with seemingly buckets of sappy and palate coating dry extract which is just as well given how firm and powerful the supporting tannic spine is. This isn't necessarily better than usual though it is bigger and more powerful than is typical. Note that here too that plenty of patience will be required.
