Vinous (89-92)
(no hail or frost here in 2015, according to Clair): Medium red. Musky, deeply pitched aromas of raspberry, strawberry and smoky, flinty minerality. Quite taut in the early going, even a bit tough, and not showing the vintage's fleshy side today. But this firmly structured wine finishes with palate-stimulating salinity and subtle length. I would not be surprised if this eventually merited a rating at the top end of my projected range.Inc. VAT£467.09 -
Vinous (89-91)
The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru is earthy but nicely focused on the nose. The palate is sweet on the entry with blood orange tincturing the red fruit, well balanced with a touch of orange zest and marmalade towards the finish. Very fine.Inc. VAT£802.84 -
Vinous (89-91)
The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru has a vivacious, rather minty bouquet that leaps from the glass. Not complex, yet vigorous. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, more density than the Les Jarrons with just a hint of charcuterie on the finish. Good potential.Inc. VAT£636.29
