WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:
Coming from 35 year old vines located on the the middle of the very steep, south facing hillside (about 300m), with shallow soil, of a calcareous nature, that is not very fertile and therefore produces very low quantities of very high quality fruit. This vineyard in a great lookout spot! The wine sees 12 months in barrel, 25% of which is new.
The 2021 Savigny-l??s-Beaune Aux Gravins 1er Cru has a lively, slightly candied bouquet with vibrant red fruit, kirsch and desiccated orange peel. The palate has a strict and quite graphite driven bouquet, linear, a no-messin' Savigny that takes this vintage seriously. The sapid finish means it should reward cellaring. Excellent. - Vinous
