The 2010 Chorey-Les-Beaune is a beautiful wine laced with expressive dark red cherries, licorice, spices and smoke, all supported by persistent minerality. This is a fabulous wine for the money and a rare value from Burgundy. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. This is an impressive showing from Drouhin. In my view the 2010s are more interesting and transparent than the 2009s. Veronique Drouhin describes 2010 as a vintage with long-term aging potential, which certainly seems to be the case. Some of the wines were vinified with a portion of whole clusters, including the Corton-Bressandes, Petits-Monts, Charmes and Musigny. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby & Co., New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770
