Tasting notes
One of the many highlights in this flight of 1er Crus, the 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Narbantons is outrageously beautiful. From the very first taste, the Narbantons is lush, exotically ripe and silky. Time in the glass just brings out the wine’s sensual allure even further. The warmth of the vintage seems to have added an extra level of sweetness and softness to the tannins that make the Narbatons so seductive, even at this very early stage. The Narbantons has no beginning and no end, it just exists in a total sense of seamlessness and completeness that is frankly hard to capture with just words. What a gorgeous and utterly beguiling wine it is.

Domaine Leroy's 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons bursts from the glass with a deep bouquet of plums, red berries, grilled squab and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is broad and velvety, its tannins entirely hidden in a sapid core of fruit, its underpinning acids bright and vibrant and its finish long. This Savigny's structural finesse is as striking as its marriage of bright fruit with kaleidoscopic savory nuance.
