Goedhuis, December 2016
This southerly facing vineyard produces a succulent and generous wine. The aromas blend red cherries and sweet wild strawberries. The plump and full mouth-feel is aided by richly textured tannins and hints of mocha on the finish. A very appealing Savigny.

Neal Martin, December 2016, Score: 87-89
The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières comes from mainly limestone soils on the mid-slope. This has more fruité than the Les Fourneaux with ample mulberry and raspberry scents, quite opulent for this vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy, fairly rigid tannin. There is modest weight in the mouth, but like the aforementioned Les Fourneaux, I find that finish rather dry and unyielding at the moment. Drink Date 2017 - 2023

Domaine Chandon de Briailles
The sibling team at this stunning domaine (Francois and Claude de Nicolay) is most definitely a winning one. Their biggest influence has been to convert the estate firstly to organic and now to biodynamic methods of viticulture and vinification. The wines focus on sensual flavours and refinement, these are not powerful, but the aged vines allow for wines of extraordinary texture and complexity.Region
Savigny-lès-Beaune
The picturesque village of Savigny-lès-Beaune, just to the north of Beaune, is a relatively prolific producer in Burgundian terms. Less serious than its neighbours, Pommard and Volnay, these are nonethless delicious wines - perfumed, delicate and elegant. A tiny amount of white is produced.
