What to expect

April frost cut some Côte de Beaune producers' crops by more than half; very small quantities of good wine. Expect a good, dependable wine, often ready a little sooner than the greatest years.

8 of the 19 years we cover for this wine were rated higher.

What does this wine cost to make?Our estimate: $22–$98 a bottle

We estimate it costs about $22 to $98 to make one bottle of a wine like this. The price in the shop is far higher because the land is scarce, the name is famous, and many hands take a share on the way to you.
