Suggestion from July 09 2025
Wine: 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune "La Bataillère aux Vergelesses"
Producer: Domaine Albert Morot
Comment: This is aromatically similar to the Pommard but even earthier with a touch of the sauvage. There is fine richness to the velvet-textured medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the mildly rustic and youthfully austere finish that is firmly structured. This already is displaying fine complexity, and more will almost certainly arrive as this appears to have fine development potential.
