  Nose: There is a fresh and higher toned quality to the nose with roses, red fruits, red cherries, dark red berries, and some earth notes. The earth notes keep it a bit grounded, but this does take on a more feminine style.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity and silky tannins. There is a refined nature to the structure, but it deceives a bit and jumps back at you along with earth notes, roses, red fruits, and tart red cherries.
  
  Overall: This is a pretty and young Savigny-les-Beaune. There is an alluring, yet precocious nature at the moment, but there is also room to grown and round into more.

  Burgundy Tasting at Chevalier Wines: Round and tart fruit, with the same freshness as the Clos Rousseau. A bit lighter and more approachable now as well. Again, this is a juicy and delicious bottle, but perhaps slightly more elegant than the Clos Rousseau. Despite the comparisons, I imagine this has similar aging potential as well.
