The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Vergelesses 1er Cru Blanc, matured in one-third new oak, is clearly a step up from the Savigny Blanc, delivering greater mineralité and terroir expression, touches of lime flower and dandelion emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a sedate entry, then builds toward a precise, lilting finish. Delightful.HK$9,080.00 -

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. Black cherries and bilberry reluctantly emerge, the nose seeming just a tad subdued at first. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, nicely focused and more elegant than the Les Grands Liards. Fine precision on the saline finish. This represents another excellent 2019 from Bize.HK$8,035.00 -

The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Marconnets 1er Cru shows less stem character than the Les Fourneaux, opening with blackberry, briar, undergrowth and white pepper aromas. The palate is well balanced with plenty of freshness that proprietor Chisa Bize puts down to strict early-morning picking. Lightly spiced toward the finish, with a briny tang on the aftertaste. Give it 3–4 years in bottle.HK$8,430.00 -
