Tasting notes
The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village was taken from tank and contains 15–20% whole-bunch fruit (one-third originating from Les Fourneaux). It has a pleasant, slightly bucolic red currant and cranberry bouquet. The palate is well balanced with crunchy red fruit and slightly peppery in style; a little chewiness comes through on the finish. Fine.

Just racked. One-third Aux Fournaux (structured, mostly whole bunch) and two-thirds Ez Connardises (destemmed) – heart of Savigny on old alluvial soils that give fruit-driven wines, says Ben Leroux. Aged partly in foudre and partly in barrel. Tank sample. Mid crimson. Gorgeously and tantalisingly fragrant in both fruit and a light floral character. Sweet-fruited purity. Deliciously fresh, succulent and fine boned. Mouth-watering freshness but packed with fruit. Very fine tannic texture. (JH)
