(Latour Louis Savigny-lès-Beaune) Pale lemon yellow. The nose starts with a whiff of sulfur, replaced by lime and waxy grapefruit - there's also a quite appealing smokey undertow of wood. The palate has some fat and very primary fruit. There's also slightly harsh wood, but the acidity and fruit concentration are not bad at all. Not as satisfying to drink today as most of the Bourgogne blancs from the tasting in the 'summer issue', but comes across as being too young. Hopefully with another three years or so there might be a little more interest.
