Soft oaky notes with hints of herbs and bitter almonds on the nose. Touches of vanilla and raspberry candy on the palate, good tannic structure and good, still vibrant acid.
Dry white wine. A blend of 70% Chardonnay & 30% Savagnin before fermentation, matured in oldoak barrels during 3 years minimum, with topping up. It is the elegance itself of the Jura white wines, a perfect balance of the 2 varieties, suitable for long ageing. To be served at moderate temperature.
Medium gold, tart yellow apple, walnut, hazelnut, low body, crispy acidity, good finish.
Vanilla custard, ripe banana, salted butter, yellow apple, a little nutty and moist cellar. The High alcohol is well integrated, medium acidity. After 2 days open, way more balanced, the Wood notes turned down, yellow pear, White champignon, a little hay. Long finish.
The Domaine Pierre Labet Bourgogne Rouge Vieilles Vignes is a delicious expression of Pinot Noir. François likes to stress that this wine is about the grape rather than the terroir. Wonderfully generous, supple, bright red berries. This comes from three different plots in Chorey-lès-Beaune, which has more clay than on the Côte, being located at the beginning of the plain. A real crowd pleaser.
As always, François makes his white wines by, first and foremost, focusing on the acidity. This, he says, is the key – allied to his other maxim of top quality grapes. All of the family’s wines are made according to the quality levels of their headline property Château de La Tour, where they are all made.
The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 1er Cru, blended with 25% whole-bunch fruit, has a pretty bouquet of black currant, crushed strawberries, tomato vine and light…

Outer quote mark The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Serpentières is a little riper and more exotic on the nose compared to the Les Peuillets, with scents of fig and blood orange percolating through the red and black fruit. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity on the entry, then it reclines back and fans out without too much effort. This is a natural, refined, quite elegant Savigny that should age nicely for a decade, but I bet will be ready to drink almost straight from the word go. (NM) Inner quote mark (12/2016)
Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru, picked on September 1 at 13.5% potential alcohol, is tightly coiled and more backward than the Aux Gravins, ergo I expect that this will require more bottle age. There are enticing blackberry and wild strawberry fruit aromas here, but they need time. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins and a superb line of acidity that imparts a sense of energy from the start to the saline finish, which is tangy and vivacious. This is everything you really need in a La Dominode.
