Note di degustazione
Good bright, full red. Reticent aromas of cherry, cocoa powder, fresh herbs and earth. The most peppery of these 2008s, with a green streak running through the wine. The tannins come off as a bit green and dry, as there's less middle-palate supporting texture here. Geoffrey Choppin de Janvry noted that he did a very light extraction. This rather spiky wine may come into better harmony with a couple years of bottle aging.

Choppin’s 2008 Savigny-les-Beaune La Batailliere aux Vergelesses is scented with Szechuan pepper, blond tobacco, dark cherry, leather, and dark berries accented by cherry pit bitterness on a tartly fresh-fruited yet slightly drying palate. It finishes with impressive persistence, a bit of a tannin that catches the throat, and slight alcoholic warmth. Geoffrey Choppin de Janvry was among those growers to report that more rigorous sorting was required for his 2008 fruit than had been needed the previous vintage. I tasted his 2008s from tank, where they were spending a bit longer than usual, in order to gas-out after very late malos. Imported by Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832 9083
