2017 Chanzy Santenay 'Les Cornières'

18.7 points, JJ (John Jens)
For the price, this is serious. Perfumed. Ripe, soft, gentle, modern and textured. Serious length of fruit for a wine in this price range. Great length, lovely finish and lovely aftertaste.

It has beautiful dark ruby red shades and a bouquet of plums, raspberries and black currants that continues in the taste. The structure is silky soft, elegant and delicious with velvety tannins and an aftertaste that fortunately lasts a long time.
