Chandon de Briailles Savigny les Beaune les Lavieres 1er Cru 2005 (1.5L)

89-91 BH

Tasting note: This too is fresh, elegant and pure with airy red pinot fruit aromas nuanced by touches of earth and underbrush that can also be found on the detailed, precise and beautifully balanced finish that delivers excellent persistence. Lavières is a wine that ages well in even average vintages and in a year such as 2005, this should be capable of extended cellaring. Allen Meadows, Burghound
