Seigneurie de Posanges, Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru, 'Les Serpentiéres', Burgundy, France 2005
The Savigny-Lès-Beaune AOC is the third largest producing Appellation in the Cote de Beaune section of Burgundy. The reputation of the wines from Savigny-Lès-Beaune is that they're generally Lighter and less full-bodied (and therefore not considered as good) as that of many of its neighbors, which means prices are lower. Aux Vergelesses, Aux Guettes, Les Lavières, and Aux Serpentières are some of the better Premier Cru.
Dark ruby in color, with a bold scent of wild cherries - almost reminiscent of a cough drop but much more appealing - over nuances of cedar and Rosés with an undertone of sweet oak. Textured and full, red-fruit and floral character follows the nose, well balanced with crisp acidity. Opens up to increasing complexity with time in the glass, smooth and structured, tannins so soft and ripe that you barely notice them on the palate.
