While the city Beaune represents the epicenter of wine production in Burgundy, the term, “Beaune” also refers to the specific sub-appellation of the greater Cote de Beaune, whose vineyards climb up the slopes that border the city to its west. Originally founded as a Roman camp by Julius Caesar, the city of Beaune eventually became the seat of the dukes of Burgundy until the 13th century. The appellation, dominated by Pinot Noir plantings, represents a good starting point to begin to understand red Burgundy. Its sandy soils create light and supple, floral driven Pinot Noir.Pascal Prunier-Bonheur took over at the Domaine in 1983 as the fifth generation of this quality-driven winegrowing family. With 6 hectares of vines over the Cote de Beaune, Pascal’s aim is to reflect the vineyard and allow the grapes to speak for themselves. His Beaune Premier Cru "Les Sizies" comes from the name of the property's owner in the 18th century, Renaud de Sessie. This vineyard is 1.62 hectares, planted on clay-driven soils at the foot of the slope.Tasting notesIt has a perfumed, floral bouquet with dried rose petal scents littered over the red cherry and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth, tart red cherries mixed with strawberry and a hint of spice towards the vibrant finish.  Deal Ends Sunday
