The 1989 Santenay 1er Cru Clos de Tavannes is drinking beautifully, offering up sweet aromas of red fruit compote, orange zest and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple palate framed by melting tannins and concluding with a perfumed finish. It exemplifies the purity of fruit and sensual textures that the late Gérard Potel's wines so consistently captured.
