Neal Martin, (Vintage 2017)The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Grands Liards has a tightly wound, focused bouquet of blackberry, raspberry coulis and subtle orange peel aromas that feel harmonious.

The palate is well balanced with plenty of energy and gentle grip. The surprisingly succulent finish leaves black olives on the aftertaste.
