Louis Latour - Savigny-les-Beaune 2015
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red, with garnet hues, the Savigny-les-Beaune has an intense nose reminiscent of wild strawberry, cherry, coffee and spices aromas.
The mouth is powerful with a certain freshness with notes of licorice and cassis. Superb tannic finish.

Description
Lying just beneath the hill of Beaune, the vine-growing areas of Savigny-les-Beaune fall into two areas. The first is in the south adjacent to Beaune and the other is in the north bordering on the appellation of Aloxe-Corton. The red wines of Savigny are very like those of Beaune.
