Chandon de Briailles, Savigny Beaune Lavieres Vintage:2018 with a kirsch(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+
