2020 Savigny Les Beaune Fourneaux

The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Fournaux wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries, baking chocolate, exotic spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with tangy acid and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the long, perfumed finish, it shows considerable promise.

The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Fournaux 1er Cru is well-defined on the nose but quite compact and introverted at first, blackcurrant mixed with redcurrant and a hint of balsamic. The palate is crisp and grainy in texture, again, quite "crunchy" in texture with a liberal sprinkling of white pepper and sage towards the finish. Very fine.
