Maison Bouchard Père & Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune “Les Lavières” Premier Cru 2017

“Soft wood combines with cool and pure but decidedly ripe red and dark pinot fruit, spice and marked earth/sauvage nuances. The delicious and round medium weight flavors are quite generously proportioned with an opulent mid-palate and much better concentration, all wrapped in a lingering and nicely complex finale. I like this quite a bit though there is a nit which is noticeable warmth and while it’s not enough to ruin the balance, neither is it invisible.” – Allen Meadows, Burghound
