Marvelous nose of black raspberries and sour cherries with savory and wet-earth complexity. Although only medium-bodied, this is a rich wine for the appellation, but with more than enough freshness and fine tannin to carry this. Long, savory finish. From one plot of 4 hectares with southerly exposure and stony limestone soil. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

A cooler and more elegant nose is comprised by purple fruit, violet and soft earth. The finer and more mineral-driven flavors possess a lovely texture while delivering better persistence on the equally austere finale. This is quite good with the aging potential to match. *Outstanding*

Offering up aromas of sweet cherries, plums and licorice, the 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières is medium to full-bodied, broad and charming, with a sweet, fleshy core of fruit that largely conceals its supple structuring tannins. This will offer a wide drinking window.
