2011 Domaine Simon Bize et Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Vergelesses 1er Cru

This is also quite cool and restrained with its broad-based nose of plum, violets, earth, spicy and red currant aromas. There is a quite sophisticated mouth feel to the highly energetic and beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors that are less seductively textured but even finer. This impression is abetted by the very fine grain of the supporting tannins all wrapped in a long, balanced and serious finish. Lovely juice though note that like the Aux Fourneaux at least a decade of cellar is recommended. Tasted: Apr 15, 2013. Drink: 2021+
