2006 Mongeard-Mugneret Savigny–les–Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Appellation: Savigny-les-Beaune
Vineyard: Les Narbantons
Cooperage: 35% in new French Oak
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Price: $48
My Tasting Notes:
Nose: mushroom, slight barnyard, raspberry
Taste: black cherry, red clay, leather and black pepper (taste not spicy), wet forest
Mouthfeel: silky and balanced with great acidity and young leathery tannins
Finish: long with dark fruit and slight earthy notes
Beautiful wine, that is drinking well now but shows that it still has a lot of life left in it. Not inexpensive by any means, but definitely a great value for a Premier Cru red Burgundy.
Cheers!
