Cornu-Camus 2022 Chorey-les-Beaune 'Les Beaumonts'

Chorey-les-Beaune is the bottom of the gentle slope that leads up to Savigny-les-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton. Located on the eastern side of the main road, Chorey has remained under the radar with no premier or grand crus, but consistently making great Pinot Noirs that are fairly inexpensive. The lieu-dit of Les Beaumonts borders Savigny-les-Beaune and is situation on the bottom of the hillside on a very gently sloped section. The wine is aged for 12 months in barrique, 20% of it being new oak. The wine has excellent structure with ripe red fruits. A wine full of energy that is ready to drink!    

Bernadette Camus and her husband Pierre Cornu created Domaine Cornu-Camus in 1981 by bringing together vines from each of their families. In 2008 they were joined by their daughter Lydia and her husband Christophe. Today they farm 12 hectares spread across 15 appellations with organic principles.
