Decelle-Villa Savigny-Lès-Beaune Blanc 2012

An exquisite study in minerality and precision. Complex aromas of wood sap and flint atop yellow fruit and lemon blossom introduce a mineral-etched, tangy, magnificently balanced and poised wine with a twist of salted lemon on the lengthy finish. Could cellar 5+ years, but no need to wait. Sip and contemplate unto itself, or savour with lightly herbed grilled chicken breast or calamari. (VINTAGES panel, June 2014)
