Tasting notes
The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru feels more constricted at present when compared to the Clos des Guettes. The nose highlights dark plum and raspberry, yet is just missing a little amplitude. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins. The pedigree of the climat comes through here; it's pretty sweet and opulent towards the finish, so it belies the coolness of that summer. Give this a couple of years in bottle because it is a well-crafted Savigny.

The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode (Domaine Louis Jadot) has turned out nicely, exhibiting aromas of raspberries, cherries, sweet spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, lively and muscular, with good depth at the core and powdery structuring tannins, it will age with grace.
Cask sample. Mid garnet. Lightly nutty note on the nose and pretty marked acidity on the palate. Not sure this will ever be charming. (JR)
