Note di degustazione
Part aged in large foudre. Feels like a heavy bottle? But with any luck he has mended his ways since 2017. Transparent garnet. Smells like red burgundy! (With very slight sweatiness.) But on the palate it's razor-sharp and just about ready to enjoy. Proper Savigny with no faults or rough edges on the palate. You couldn’t say it's great value but it's very well made. Rather nice grainy, stony finish and admirably long. (JR)

The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village finishes its aging in foudres , which is where my sample came from. It has a pleasant raspberry and briar bouquet that just requires a little more vigor. The palate is well balanced, offering supple tannin, tart red cherry fruit and a touch of piquancy on the finish. Fine.
Fournaux (structured) and Ez Connardises – heart of Savigny on old alluvial soils that give fruit-driven wines, says Ben Leroux. 10% whole bunch. One year in barrel then racked to foudre. Will be bottled in January. Lightish cherry red and much more savoury on the nose than the Bourgogne. Earthy in a good way. Lovely ripe red fruit purity and finely made tannins. Mouth-watering and so moreish. Lightly chewy finish with a fluid core. (JH)
