Chandon de Briailles, Savigny Beaune Lavieres Size:12x750ml The flavors and textures still

The flavors and textures still haven't fully filled out

Like the Malconsorts this intensely mineral-driven effort is somewhat less structured than usual though it certainly doesn’t lack for power and punch

long and delicious while remaining altogether serious

The current release is the 1997 Gran Reserva 904

Chandon de Briailles, Savigny Beaune Lavieres Size:12x750ml The flavors and textures still(from a parcel just under Talmettes). Discreet wood and menthol notes frame the very ripe aromas of cassis, violet, earth and spice. There is once again excellent richness, volume and sappy dry extract to the middle weight plus flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the refined and impressively long finish. This is certainly quite ripe but there is good tension and this should amply repay extended cellaring. 92 2025+
