Patrick Javillier – Les Serpentières 2018 – Savigny-Les-Beaune Premier Cru

The nose is elegant, melodious, a beautiful silky touch and offers a beautiful grain, a fine concentration as well as a fine freshness and a fine richness (full of control). It reveals notes of violet plum, violet, small notes of crushed blackberry associated with small touches of fleshy strawberry, pulpy cherry as well as hints of violet, lily, fine hints of racy minerality, sweet spices, a very discreet hint of grey pepper and an imperceptible hint of camphor. The palate is fruity, elegant, harmonious and offers a well-built/full of finesse structure, a very beautiful delicate/aerial touch, dynamism as well as an acidulous frame, juiciness and elegance. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/bright plum, juicy Boysen berry, small notes of small bright/ripe red berries associated with small touches of violet, lily, sugared mild tobacco, sweet spices as well as fine hints of crunchy strawberry and a discreet hint of saffron (in the background). Good length. Tannins are elegant and well-built.
