Offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries, licorice and blackcurrants, the 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village is medium to full-bodied, textural and generous, with a fleshy core of fruit, tangy acids and youthfully chalky tannins. This has turned out well, and it can be enjoyed in its boisterous youth as well as with some bottle age.

The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village is already generous and expressive, bursting with aromas of cherries, spices and flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a succulent core of fruit and melting tannins. Pure, fruit-driven and nicely integrated, this is already drinking well.

The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village, which is matured in 30% new oak, came across as a little too woody on the nose, at the expense of terroir expression. The palate is structured on the entry with good depth and structure, however, I find the wood tannin too prominent, especially on the finish. It just needed reining in during the vinification, because there is some decent fruit here.

The 2014 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village has a slightly smudged bouquet, perhaps the 20% to 30% new oak a little excessive vis-à-vis the fruit concentraiton. The palate is soft and rounded, quite approachable, but the finish feels labored and does not flow as it should.

The 2013 Savigny-les-Beaune has a light cranberry and briary bouquet. It is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, quite rustic in the mouth, and I feel the 25% new oak is a tad too much on the attenuated finish. This is a weak showing.
