Tasting notes
The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune les Peuillets 1er Cru, matured in around 20% new oak and 20% whole bunches, has another pretty nose with cranberry and wild strawberry notes and a touch of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, pliant tannins. There's a little more weight on the mid-palate with a structured, slightly graphite finish that lingers. The 2021 is cool, calm and collected.

The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets was a little introverted when I tasted it, showing a touch of reduction (perfectly normal at this stage of élevage), but it opens in the glass to exhibit notes of red berries, lilac and blood orange, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate framed by powdery tannins.
