Revealing aromas of cherries, sweet berries, warm spices and raw cocoa, the 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Les Theurons (Domaine Gagey) is medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with a rich core of fruit underpinned by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully chewy finish.
A perfumed and pretty mix features notes of both red and dark cherry liqueur along with floral and exotic tea nuances. This too possesses a highly attractive mouthfeel with slightly better mid-palate density to the relatively powerful flavors that are a mix of refinement and punch on the dusty, moderately austere and firmly structured finale. This is a classic Theurons of grace, but no lack of character, that will need extended patience to arrive at its apogee.
