2020 Fanny Sabre Beaune Clos des Renardes

5/22/2024 - SARED wrote: 92 points

A lighter styled 12.5% alc for the hot 2020 vintage. I actually wish it was picked a day (or two) later to reduce the high toned nature of the wine. Crunchy tart cherry, currants, blackberry with a nice bit of soiseboise on the noise. Has a fuzzy, earthy feel to the fruit. Benefited from a decant to soften the high toned streak, and came off older than it was (with the soise boise). A pretty good pick up for $65 and I think would benefit from 5 years if bottle age (to soften the high toned juiciness). Think: sour cherry, fuzzy raspberry, earth, chalk.

Ripe dark fruit, rich, earthy and silky, but a bit short. Lacks some freshness and complexity, but ready now and good for the price.

Nose of spiced Christmas cake cherries, evergreen forest, earthiness. It’s still quiet and savory. On the palate there’s cherry but it is chocolate covered and very savory. The tannins are round and spicy but very fine grained. This is delicious. from Magnum

Whole-bunch fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks or tronconical open-top oak fermentors, depending on the source. Macerated for 4-5 days with the skins, then pressed and moved into oak barrels to finish the fermentation. Aged for 16 months in 228-liter oak pièces, of which a small portion was new. 13% alcohol.

Rather pale, translucent and luminous blood-red color with a slightly evolved pomegranate hue and a wide, colorless rim. The nose feels a bit restrained and slightly sauvage with characterful aromas of brambly raspberries, wild strawberries and zesty, Campari-like notes of chinotto, some meaty tones, a little bit of cherry marmalade, light brooding notes of coniferous forest, a hint of allspice, a touch of stony minerality and a faint green-toned whiff of pickle relish. The wine feels ripe, silky and somewhat mellow on the palate with a medium body and somewhat sunny flavors of sweet black raspberries and juicy Bing cherries, some red licorice tones, a little bit of strawberry, light fragrant chinotto notes reminiscent of Campari, a hint of earthy spice and a touch of wood. The medium-plus acidity feels a bit soft, but it is sufficient enough to keep the wine in balance - however, most of the structure relies on the firm, moderately grippy medium tannins. The finish is juicy, moderately grippy and a bit soft with a ripe, sweetly-fruited aftertaste of strawberries and juicy raspberries, some gravelly mineral tones, a little bit of allspice, light earthy nuances, a wild hint of lifted character and a touch of fresh black cherry.

A pleasant and vibrant but also maybe a bit too soft Pommard that lacks some of that necessary acidity a wine this ripe really could use. The overall flavor profile shows good sense of vibrancy and the tannins are as firm as one can expect from a Pommard, but the solar vintage nevertheless shows in the modest acidity and noticeably ripe fruit flavors. I feel this could be a lovely wine in a cooler vintage, but this kind of very delicate and fruit-forward winemaking style doesn't really go that well together with warmer vintages, in which the lush fruit flavors are going to be to the fore in any case. I feel the wine can not just keep, but also evolve for years more, but I'm not sure if the wine is going to get qualitatively any better with further aging. As the wine is already pretty vibrant, nuanced and accessible, it is pretty much ready for business right now, and any further aging isn't going to help with the elevated sense of ripeness or modest acidity.

This parcel always does a good job. A great cross if you're looking for some entry level sour cherry and sous bois in a form that isn't too fresh and outwardly "young" in presentation. This definitely needs an hour or two of decanting to fully show its bouquet. Would be super happy drinking this over the next 5 years. Not really sure if it will last the better part of decade. Pretty good value

Bright red fruit, clearly meaty and firm with some tannins that still need time to soften. Dense, meaty from middle forward. Better from 2025 forward.

2020 Fanny Sabre Bourgogne-Aligoté

7/22/2023 - forceberry wrote: 91 points

100% biodynamically farmed Aligoté. Fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Aged for at least 6 months in old oak barrels. 12% alcohol.

Pale, youthful yellow-green color. The nose feels fragrant, sweet-toned and both crisp and stuffy at the same time with aromas of red apples and juicy pear tones, some creamy notes suggesting oak aging, light reductive notes of flinty smoke, a little bit of nectarine, a skunky hint of sulfurous reduction and a touch of zesty citrus fruit. The wine feels crisp, lively and quite acid-driven on the palate with a light-to-medium body and ripe yet dry flavors of lemony citrus fruits and saline mineral tones, some sharp Granny Smith apple tones, a little bit of key lime, light leesy notes of creaminess, a hint of sweet oak spice and a smoky touch of reduction. The brisk acidity lends good sense of focus and structure to the wine. The finish is crisp, fresh and lively with a long, dry aftertaste of Granny Smith apple and lemony citrus fruits, some leesy notes of creaminess, light reductive nuances of gunpowder smoke, a zesty hint of key lime and a touch of stony minerality.

A lovely, very crisp and wonderfully lively Aligoté with great sense of intensity, depth and structure. The oak influence lends a little bit of creamy complexity without really obfuscating any of the brisk, acid-driven varietal flavors of Aligoté. The overall feel is still a bit reductive, and especially the nose had a slightly stuffy, skunky element to it - but based on the brisk vibrancy, I have no doubts this wine is able to age enough to lose that reduction. If opened now or in the near future, I suggest aerating the wine for some time. All in all, a pretty lovely and quite serious effort for this often overlooked variety.

Natural Pinot Noir from Cote de Beaune. Small production, low intervention, energy, "pinot noir raw". Funk and village and acidic red fruits, this is more like Jura Pinot. Surprising for sure but kind of a one time deal for me.

Nice wine with clear red and dark fruits with some warmth and sweetness. A tad of new world pinot cola flavour. Lacks a bit of acidity or freshness and naturally on the young side.

2020 Fanny Sabre Pommard

7/14/2023 - KeithAkers wrote: 89 points

The nose is open and giving after about a half hour with red plums, raspberries, dark red cherries, herbs, baking spices, violets, and crush rocks. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and refined with crisp, medium+ acid and silky, medium tannins. This is my first time with a Fanny Sabre and in many ways, I don't know how to feel/react. As a Pommard, I just don't see it. As a delicious Pinot Noir, it's absolutely there. I would like to see where this goes with some age, but I'm not sure it'll ever really bring that rustic charm that I love from the village.

This is my second bottle of this wine in over a year. It was served straight from the bottle. The aroma is delicately layered with hints of forest floor and strawberries. However, compared to my previous experience, the palate was noticeably weaker. I would recommend avoiding pairing it with robust dishes such as steaks, as it may not hold up well.

By the glass over Burger dinner at 67PM.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Thin legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of green herbs, stalk pyrazine, under-ripe red cherry. Youthful.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, low alcohol (12.5%), medium- tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of watery dilute red cherry juice, under-ripe red berries, green bell pepper, green stems and spice. Medium finish.
For fans of stems and stalks. Easy drink. Otherwise fruit quite lacklustre.

Two bottles enjoyed over chef’s dinner at 6&24 in The Hague. Lovely aromatics of dried black cherries and fig paste. Medium-bodied, very good depth and well-balanced. Paired well with the first handful of delectable courses that were primarily fish/seafood or vegetarian. This restaurant could convert me to herbivore status after tasting my wife’s vegetarian courses. We followed with some decanted Ch du Tertre Margaux but Fanny was the favourite at the table.
