Suggestion from November 20 2024
Wine: 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune "Les Peuillets"
Producer: Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard
Comment: A discreet application of wood easily allows the cool aromas of plum, dark raspberry and violet to shine. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony medium weight flavors that possess a much more refined mouth feel while delivering fine length on the highly refreshing bitter cherry-inflected finale. Textbook Peuillets.
