AJ | Light and translucent bright scarlet. Sweet with some oak as well as the soft cherry; dryer and more aerial than some. Bright, crisp and sinewy. Fruit-hounds might be disappointed here, but if you love Savigny, Beaune or Pernand, you have come to the right place with this slender, graceful, darting wine in which both acids and tannins do all the shaping and battery-pack the wine. Aesthetically daring (unless it is straight a reflection of a high/cool site) but it works well for me.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 91
AR | This is medium ruby and showing some evolution in the garnet at the rim of the glass; there's a pleasant fragrance here and when you taste the wine a quite marked acidity and slightly drying tannin seems to take over quite soon before the red fruits have really been allowed to express themselves; above all, that throat-catching drying finish just scoops out the fruit from a potentially good wine.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2026. 87
DW | A touch of savoury oak and a tad green in the tannin department: there is raspberry coulis and cherry but the feel is dry and a little forced and extracted, this is a little effortful in the company.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2032. 84
