2015 Simon Bize et Fils - Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru Talmettes

Chisa Bize very candidly admitted that her team's experiment in extending the maceration of the 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Talmettes had not been a success, and I agree. The wine offers up a rather baked bouquet of roasted black fruit and jammy summer fruit compote, followed by a plump, open-knit palate. This is not the domaine's "cheval de bataille" in 2015, and it should be earmarked for near-term consumption.
