Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Santenay 1er Cru Clos Tavannes 2014
The 2014 Santenay 1er Cru Clos Tavannew comes from 2.09 hectares of vine, the oldest planted back in 1929. Matured in 20% new oak, it has a red plum and mulberry-scented bouquet with moderate intensity, and a faint iodine scent in the background. The palate is grainy on the entry with slightly shrill acidity, although there is decent substance behind it and a pleasant, rather foursquare, rustic finish. RP

Domaine de la Pousse d'Or Santenay 1er Cru Clos Tavannes 2017
This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction though it's not enough to really mask the earth and humus-inflected dark currant aromas. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the lightly stony lighter weight flavors that possess fine depth and persistence long the mildly rustic finale. BH
