Press comments

Neil Beckett (Editor The World of Fine Wine): “Lovely pale ruby, with a natural lustre and youthful violet rim. Although recently bottled, this has a beautiful, enchanting, naturally expressive nose, so effortlessly ingratiating that you seem to breathe in rather than smell its seductive scent: perfectly balanced and pure, at once freshly ripe and sapid, an amalgam of black and red fruit, the elegant red liquorice taking you back to the roots. Effortless and silky on entry—a gorgeous texture: the wine having had nothing forced on it, forces nothing back. The balanced acidity gives great freshness at the heart of the wine—an accurate expression of this beneficially cool, low-lying lieu-dit between the premiers crus on either side of the River Rhoin—but it is cushioned by the fruit and seamlessly wrapped by the supple tannins, so fine-grained as to become almost powdery on the finish, while remaining succulent throughout. There is deceptive length to the graceful, gently lingering finish, and a gratifying sense of both authenticity and style: a très haut Bas Liards.”

Steven Spurrier MW (Decanter/SOMM Magazine): “For me Savigny along with the even more open Santenay is the most attactive, easy of access, of the Cote de Beaune appellations, and always seems to offer something more than is expected.  This lieu-dit has both depth and character with a lift of fruit that adds elegance, a three to seven year wine.”
