Louis Jadot, Beaune 1er Cru Theurons, 2005
Les Theurons sits right on the seam of Beaune, at the divide where the lighter premiers crus of the north give way to the fuller-bodied ones of the south—so it borrows a little from both, delicacy and depth in the same glass. It's long been considered one of the commune's finer sites, and Jadot destems the fruit and lets it ride out a long vat fermentation to draw out structure. That structure mattered here, because 2005 was one of the truly great, tannic, built-to-last red Burgundy vintages. Twenty-plus years on, this is a mature wine that still carries real grip and concentration—a Beaune with backbone. Give it air and enjoy it now.
