La Brulade du domaine de la Bégude has a dense color indicative of high concentration. The nose is complex, with spicy notes topped by hints of garrigue and black pepper. As it ages, La Brulade develops highly complex tertiary aromas of leather, menthol, blond tobacco and wild sloe. The palate is highly structured, with a lovely grain of tannin, and finishes beautifully with remarkable length and minerality.

Situated to the south of Chambolle, above the "Amoureuses" and next to the Musigny, this so-called "méconnu" place due to its very small surface area does not lack datout to reveal a bouquet of perfume from its youth. Great finesse on the palate.
