Score: BH92
Moderate wood surrounds the ripe, airy and fresh nose of Granny Smith apple, pear, acacia blossom, crushed fennel and a hint of exotic jasmine tea. The rich, concentrated and quite seductively textured medium-bodied flavors brim with dry extract that imparts a sappy texture on the clean and markedly dry finale. This is still quite primary and compact and not surprisingly given that it was just bottled, is going to need at least a few years before it will be open for business.

| Producer Info | Jean-Jacques Girard’s family have been growing grapes in Savigny-lès-Beaune since 1529, making the domaine one of the oldest in Burgundy. They produce gloriously aromatic, fruity Savigny using a combination of modern and traditional techniques to produce wines of great purity and elegance. Both red and white are delicious, accessible wines which are fantastic for drinking when young but also have great potential for ageing.
Jean-Jacques has built his holdings to over 40 acres, making it one of the most impressive domains in Savigny. He has been a busy man in the process, adding to his impressive array of Savigny 1er Cru vineyards with parcels in Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru, some Volnay and Pommard and the jewel in Corton-Charlemagne. Savigny les Beaune lies in a peaceful valley rimmed in hardwood forest. The soil make-up under the rim ranges from crumbly shale to compact clay, and expositions range from north-east to full south, giving incredible diversity within a relatively small zone. Generally, however, Savigny produces some of the most perfumed wines of the Cote d’Or, both red and white. |
