- Background
- Beaux Fougets translates roughly as “beautiful foliage”. The vineyard parcel lies surrounded by Premier Crus, most notably Les Epenottes and Les Clos des Mouches. The wine tends to be one of the richer and more powerful of the domaine. A top value.
- Tasting Notes
- Deep pure aromas and flavors of black cherry, wild strawberry and kirsch. Nicely extracted, with a bit more tannins present in youth.
