2002 Leroy Savigny Les Narbantons hitting the perfect note!

19 October 2014:


2002 Leroy Savigny-les-Beaune Les Narbantons
Garnet hue. Pure intense bright pinot fruit of raspberry and violet, sous-bois, truffle, cinnamon, nutmeg, five spice and tea leaves. Silky and supple palate, vibrant acidity, but already very harmonious and attractive. An exceptional Savigny Premier Cru that has aromatic complexity, depth and character, and a lovely mid-length finish, showing just a hint of dryness. Drinking at peak now and over next 5 - 6+ years. 17.5/20

2003 Corton Charlemagne, de la Vougeraie
Golden colour. Honey, braised pear, roasted hazelnut, with ripe tropical pineapple and mango notes and acacia flowers. A rich luscious style, lowish acidity, finishes long with honeyed liquorice nuances. Great with foie gras or a rich creamy lobster dish.  Drink now. 16/20
