Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret Savigny-lès-Beaune 2010

Color between garnet and ruby, but clearly looks older than the wine really is. At bottle opening, I had aromas of fur, cherries in alcohol and earth. Air did brought fruit and some green notes. Despite being rustic on the palate, Pinot Noir did show itself with red berries, fine spices and earth. Good acidity level, quite long with some heat on the finish and drinks well now. Ambiguous result (was hoping for more from this wine), I did enjoyed it and the bottle was emptied easily. Very good+ (90)

Made of Pinot Noir. Aged in oak barrels with 10 to 20% new ones. Alcohol level of 13%
