Bouchard Père & Fils 2005 Les Lavières Premier Cru (Savigny-lès-Beaune)

Country: France / Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Bouchard Père & Fils / Les Lavières Premier Cru

For a Savigny, this is surprisingly firm and tannic, the wine’s structure an impressive edifice of dry tannins and firm cranberry and plum skin flavors. It is certainly ripe, the fruit promising attractive richness in 3–5 years, followed by good aging potential.
