Bouchard Père & Fils Les Lavières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 2021

This is also aromatically quite cool with its more floral-inflected nose of plum, spice and discreet wood nuances. There is excellent volume to the more refined medium weight flavors that possess very good mid-palate density before terminating in an impressively persistent and balanced finale. This is sufficiently firm to repay up to a decade of cellaring but it should also be accessible after only 4 to 5 years if desired. Drink: 2028+. Outstanding. Score – 90-93.
