"The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 1er Cru was reluctantly aged in some new oak due to the large volume (co-proprietor Caroline Chenu is not a fan of new wood). It has a clean and pure bouquet with redcurrants, cranberry and light oyster shell notes. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth texture and layered red fruits that gently grip the mouth. The new oak lends a silkier sheen compared to other cuvées. Lovely depth on the finish that offers a touch of spice on the aftertaste.”–Neal Martin (May 2023)

▸ The nose of berries, red fruits, and violet are very fragrant, making this an elegant and pleasant wine when young. The aroma characters remain with age, which is typical of this appellation. ▸ On the palate, it is medium body, intense, and elegant with fine tannins and good minerality. It is well-structured to age when it eventually develops an earthy character mingled with smoky complexity. ▸ Les Lavières Premier Cru gets the name from the stone found in the sub-soil, which is covered with about a foot of stony brown earth.
