Esprit Leflaive
Savigny-Lès-Beaune Premier Cru Les Jarrons
A little-known Premier Cru in a village with a significant proportion of the production devoted to reds. Often dismissed for a perceived rusticity or simplicity, this is anything but. A wonderfully-crafted wine with some power but not lacking finesse.

"This red exudes pure cherry, strawberry and floral flavors, with underlying nuances of mineral and sweet spices. Its juicy, supple texture and spicy side make this alluring and multifaceted. Excellent length."
