Note di degustazione
This vineyard sits just below the forest, with only 30cm top-soil over the hard rock below. The Pavelot plot (a mere 0.35 hectares) shows a totally different side to Savigny – brighter and lighter, with vibrant red fruit and a creaminess (with 25% new oak). The nose is full of raspberry and cranberry, with a welcome, sublime freshness thanks to this more “traditional” vintage. The medium-bodied palate is mineral and elegant, with great tension. The oak is well-integrated, bringing extra weight to the mid-palate, building to a vibrant, long finish. This is a top wine – classic and airy, as Burgundy used to always be.

The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Guettes 1er Cru is very delineated on the nose, one of the most tensile and focused with ample red and black fruit, a subtle floral scent that surfaces with time. The palate is medium-bodied with commendable concentration, good grip, maybe not quite as complex as others yet there is a reassuring sense of solidity on the finish that will stand it in good stead for ageing.
