Tasting notes
The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 1er Cru, which was my pick from the Domaine’s portfolio last year, has a very understated bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass, unfolding brambly red berries (cranberry and strawberry), laced by woodland scents. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, very delineated and poised with a lovely prickle of spice on the finish. This is what a Savigny Premier Cru should be. Excellent.

The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 1er Cru, grown on 30–50cm of alluvial soil over stratified hard limestone subsoil and matured in around 35% new oak, is blessed with an engaging, pure bouquet of red currant and cranberry jus , a palpable sense of minerality coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and vibrant red berry fruit, the 60-year-old vines imparting wonderful complexity on the finish. An outstanding Les Lavières that comes highly recommended.
