Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Vergelesses 1er Cru was somewhat muted on the nose compared to other Premier Crus from Bize. It didn’t want to come out and play on the day of my visit! The palate is medium-bodied and demonstrates good intensity, perhaps the most structure and grip of the range, and lovely raspberry and light spicy notes toward the finish. Give this three or four years to allow the aromatics to open. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Fournaux 1er Cru is a little more backward and subdued on the nose compared to the other Premier Crus at the moment.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-92)The regular cuvée of Les Chaumées is a mix of younger vines and a little bit of old vine Clos St Abdon. Pale lemon colour. The nose is discreet but 1er Cru volume appears in the mouth, with just the right acidity to balance the orchard fruit with occasional hints of citrus. Easy-going through the middle, agreeable throughout. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Oct 2024. |
