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.
