Domaine Bruno Clair - Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru 'La Dominode' Rouge - 2016

Here too the aromatic profile is quite cool and pure though in this case it's both riper and more deeply pitched with its blend of red and dark currant, earth and violet scents. The old vines are very much in evidence as there is excellent concentration and an abundance of sap supporting the medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a serious, very firm and built-to-age finish. This slightly rustic effort is fashioned in a no-nonsense style and it's not likely to be a candidate for early drinking. 90-93 Points, Outstanding Top value Allen Meadows, Burghound
