Waitrose £13.99 (vintages on shelf range from 2008-2010)

A very light PN almost verging on thin
Given a little time in the glass the fruit shows itself but no signs of any musky barnyard notes unfortunately
A delicate wine that would be well suited to a picnic with food that won't overpower it

£15.99 these days, Shez.

Reminds me of the Summer, a light and fragrant Beaune with a delicate starter on the patio. Nothing too serious, plenty of agility, nimble elegance - shall we say.

I've had a run of well stuffed recent burgundies, so I'd be wanting to do a few swaps. Come to think of it, I don't remember any Savigny or Chorey that has been anything other than "pale and interesting". Talking Beaune, some of my Chanson 05's 1er's are not aquiring barny farmy notes or aromas, but more sous bois and forest floor instead.

I feel the "thin feel" would go if you were able to carafe the wine for half a day, give the wine a damn good airing, and then pour back into the bottle for serving during the warm evening - I'm dreaming of pre 2004 summers in the garden.

The wine's only been released for 4 and a bit years. So there's more time yet, for subtle development.

Enjoy

Ya cant beat a young, fruity Gamay for summer quaffing. And half the price too.

Gamay isn't a grape I've managed to come around to liking yet. Not my cuppa

TBH its a long time since I had a glass, just remember enjoying it slightly chilled on a summer eve. Hopefully summer is just around the corner
