Bruno Clair's 2009 Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode is fabulous in this vintage. The warmth of the year has filled out the wine beautifully. The 2009 is ripe, exotic and flashy. I especially admire the juxtaposition of fleshiness and insistent minerality.

Medium red. Sexy aromas of cherry, rose petal, menthol and spices. Juicy, spicy and dense but youthfully imploded today. Cherry fruit is joined on the finish by fine, building tannins and sneaky lingering minerality. This rather elegantly styled Savigny boasts the sweetness of the vintage without loss of energy.
