Tasting notes
The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Vergelesses 1er Cru has a forward, opulent bouquet of red cherries, cranberry and light orange peel aromas that burst from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and demonstrates a little more new oak at the moment, but that will be subsumed. Finishes with ample, spicy red fruit that lingers nicely for 30 seconds plus.

The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Vergelesses (Domaine Louis Jadot) wafts from the glass with notes of ripe plums, dark berry fruit, baking chocolate and creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, muscular and structured, with fine depth and concentration but certainly requiring further élevage.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
