Tasted from magnum, the 2016 Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Tavannes offers up an enticing bouquet of raspberries, plums and cherries, complemented by subtle hints of peony and forest floor. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, elegant and fine-boned, with excellent depth at the core, tangy acids and the most structural refinement of all the domaine's premiers crus.
