The 1997 Beaune Teurons reveals spicy blackberry scents, and offers a mouthful of highly expressive sur-maturite-laced blackberries and cassis. This explosive, fruit-packed, medium to full-bodied wine has excellent purity and precision, yet is dense, thick, and powerfully flavored, Projected maturity: 2000-2007.
Mlle. Chopin has every reason to be proud of her delicious 1997s. Yields were quite moderate, overall averaging 28 h/h, with a low of 20 h/h on the Beaune Marconnets, and none of the 1997s were chaptalized. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel (202) 832-9083.
