The 2012 Beaune 1er Cru Bastion comes from two parcels from the top of the Marconnets, located on marl/limestone soils, with a majority of the vines planted in 2000. It has a light and simple, citrus-peel nose that needs a little more vigor and charm. The palate is well-balanced with attractive, slightly resinous citrus fruit with decent weight on the finish. Drink now-2017.
