"Pretty colour, this has more depth than the Serpentières this year with charming red fruits and juicy balance. This has finesse and power and is wonderful to enjoy in its youth. (AB/SM)
91 Points, Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A very serious nose of forest floor, earth and fresh red pinot fruit kissed by a hint of kirsch complements the round, silky and impressive complex medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a balanced, linear, firm and moderately austere finish. This will need a few years to flesh out but it is the class of these Savigny 1ers in 2010. - Comments: Sweet spot Outstanding. Drink 2018+.""
No one at home! Have you forgotten? Of course not - an apologetic Jean Jacques appeared from one of the myriad of doors on the courtyard. He could not have been more helpful or generous with his time. Prior to descending to the cellar we had a considered conversation about the vintage whilst seated at his dining table. Suitably prepared, we tasted through his range. This is like a talking book of all the differ-ent crus in Savigny, each wine reflecting its birth-place and giving up its personality, whether it be the gentle red fruit of Serpentières or the stricter power of Peuillets, the richness of Fourneaux or the com-plete harmony of the Lavières. In addition to his holdings in Savigny he also has delicious wines from Volnay, Beaune and Pommard. These are certainly vins de plaisir which one will be able to enjoy at an early stage but which will also keep 6-7 years in your cellar.
