Savigny Les Beaune 1er cru les Vergelesses 2022 x6

TASTING NOTE:From the upper part of the vineyard, on white marly soil. Just bottled. A pretty pale lemon colour. Perfumed yet with grip, well-judged ripeness. Green apples with a fuller white fruit behind,plenty of drive on a stony base, with excellent length. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: February 2024

A big premier cru that produces both red and white wines.This falls somewhere between the Bourgogne Hautes-C?tes de Beaune and the Rully premier cru in terms of that flinty aroma of reduction, which means there is a nice balance between creamy citrus and winemaking influence. The fruit dominates the palatewith a long,tangy finish and creamy texture. Lots of freshness to balance the ripeness of fruit and the alcohol. (JH)
