RATINGS

92+ Stephen Tanzer

Brooding black fruits, licorice and minerals on the nose and palate. Dense, sweet and chewy, with an impression of brooding power and spine. A strong licorice flavor and bracing acids give this excellent grip.

91-93Burghound.com

A wonderfully complex dark berry fruit and spice, earth and underbrush suffused nose set off by a discreet touch of wood spice merges into rich, full and palate drenching flavors that are intense and offer a serious yet beguiling velvety..

89-91The Wine Advocate

Leading with blackberry, plum paste, game, and nut oil aromas, filling the mouth with medicinal bitter herbs and black fruit tinged with iodine and wet stone, and gripping – along similarly medicinal and mineral lines...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-les-Beaune, La Dominode

Savigny-lès-Beaune is the third largest producing appellation in the Côte de Beaune and has 1,343 vineyard acres. Located three miles north of Beaune, the commune of Savigny-lès-Beaune is one of Burgundy’s largest communes with early 1,500 inhabitants. Some 97% of the vineyards are planted to Pinot Noir, with the remainder planted to Chardonnay. And though there are no Grands Crus, there are 22 Premiers Crus in whole or part. The appellation is divided into vineyards that are either on the hillsides to the north of the highway and river, or on the hillsides to the south. Many reviewers believe that the best vineyards are to the north of the highway, and they include Aux Serpentieres, Aux Vergelesses, and Les Lavieres, among others. The northern vineyards have some of the best southern exposure in Burgundy, which accounts for the quality of the wines from those vineyards. The wines of Savigny-lès-Beaune are considered lighter than many other Burgundy reds. However Robert M. Parker Jr. has noted that the “top wines are usually ready to drink young and are very fruity and stylish…”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
