Domaine Cauvard Cote de Beaune Les Monts Battois Rouge, Burgundy, France 2017

Description

From a small family estate rooted in the hills above Cote de Beaune, the 2017 Les Monts Battois captures the charm and immediacy of the vintage. The year delivered healthy fruit and supple structure, and this bottling reflects that generosity without sacrificing regional identity.

In the glass it shows a bright ruby hue. The nose offers fresh cherry and raspberry layered with violet and a gentle touch of spice. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle earth tone that anchors the aromatics in classic Burgundy character.

The palate is medium in weight, with fine tannins and a lively thread of acidity that keeps the fruit focused and precise. Red berry flavors carry through cleanly, framed by a faint mineral edge. The finish is elegant and composed, favoring balance over power, and already drinking beautifully while capable of further development over the next several years.
