TN: Simon Bize, Savigny-les-Beaune, 1999
 

This is the "les Vergelesses" (sorry if misspelled) vineyard.
In the beginning, there is some light strawberry and cherry flavors, that
with airing turn to menthol and camphor. The
lighter fruits show up in the glass as well, but with air these turn
darker. There's good acidity, a wallop of oak that seems to be holding in
the fruit, and some minor tannins that could be
resolved in a year or two. B+ / 87-88
