Latakia tobacco-like and black tea smokiness tinge the ripe black cherry and plum of nose of Choppin’s 2007 Beaune Teurons and follow onto a palate where toasted pecan notes add to an already satisfying sense of complexity. This should remain attractive in its understated way for at least 3-4 more years, though like most Burgundian Pinots of its vintage, I am not convinced there is reason to expect more intrigue or satisfying fruit retention for significantly longer.
Geoffrey Choppin de Janvry was among those growers to report that more rigorous sorting was required for his 2008 fruit than had been needed the previous vintage. I tasted his 2008s from tank, where they were spending a bit longer than usual, in order to gas-out after very late malos.
