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.

The 2018 Gravains from Domaine Pavelot was really singing at the time of my visit and this wine is destined for great things down the road. The bouquet is deep, black fruity and beautifully precise out of the blocks, offering up scents of dark berries, black cherries, espresso, roasted game, excellent soil signature, woodsmoke, a dollop of new oak and a lovely interplay of Savigny spices and savory elements in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full and sappy at the core, with lovely mineral drive, ripe, fine-grained tannins and impeccable balance on the long, nascently complex and focused finish. Fine juice.

Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Guettes 1er Cru offers crisp brambly red berry fruit mixed with sous-bois and faint tobacco aromas on the nose. The oak here is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and a fine bead of acidity. A little spicier than the Les Lavières, with a chalky, energetic finish.

The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village has a pastille-like purity on the nose of red cherries and wild strawberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of spice on the entry, and well balanced; a little earthiness surfaces toward the finish.

It has an attractive bouquet of black plum and raspberry on the nose, touches of wild hedgerow emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a mixture of red and black fruit with a subtle chalky texture lending edginess on the finish, plus a dash of black pepper on the aftertaste.

Corton Blanc Grand Cru comes from a single parcel that is just 0.08 hectares in size (or just one barrel, one year old, maximum.) It has an effervescent bouquet of orange zest, apricot and light almond aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, a judicious touch of sour lemon complementing the slightly honeyed texture that comes through toward the finish.

Savigny les Beaune Blanc has a very attractive bouquet with vivacious aromas of green apple, nectarine and a touch of ginger. This offers impressive complexity considering it is a mere village cru. The palate is very well balanced with fine salinity straight from the start. Nicely focused and harmonious, this just seems to caress the sense as it departs. What a well crafted Savigny Blanc.

Color Dark, dense ruby
Aromatic Black fruit dominated by notes of violets and peonies. Initially closed, but a little oxygenation brings out notes of sweet spice and a complex, meaty aroma.
Palate Big, bold and muscular, the wine is very rich on the middle palate, with the aromatics continuing through to the finish. A good structure also through to the finish.
