Chorey-lès-Beaune is a village in the Côte de Beaune, located just north of Beaune itself. Often overshadowed by more prominent neighbouring appellations, it produces wines that are approachable, balanced, and distinctly Burgundian. The Pinot Noir from this area is typically lighter in style, offering red berry notes, floral hints, and a touch of earthiness.

The vineyard ‘Les Beaumonts’ is a notable lieu-dit within Chorey-lès-Beaune and highlights the appellation’s potential. The wines from this site are less robust than those from nearby Pommard but maintain a comparable level of complexity. Known for their elegance and balance, they are a good example of how Chorey-lès-Beaune reflects the qualities of Burgundy’s terroir while remaining accessible.

Tom's tasting notes:
very dark color, the nose is loaded with briary fruit, boysenberry,, blackcurrant, lick of licorice and some classy oak sitting nicely,

The palate is impressively concentrated with sappy edged tannins and a line of mineral acidity, but the fruit is powerful and mouth coating, the blue and darker fruit characters and intensity drive the finish. Will age for the long term. Impressively concentrated 26-2036
