  PNP. cork perfect. color light garnet with slight bricking edges. this is in fine shape with the usual polished balance between fruit and structure. fine core of bright cherry framed by earthy flavors. benefits from decanting if drinking now

  Not too much to add to Paul S.'s great note. Was expecting excessive acidity given the vintage, but this was soft and inviting. And, yes, there seems to be some tertiary development already. VG and complex for its level, and I will drink my remaining bottle soon.

  J'étais dans le piémont... Tant en nez qu'en bouche on cherche le pinottage. On a plutôt de la prune cuite, et des arômes tertiaires qui pointent (pour un 2011 !?!). Bon, pour un barbera :D

  Lunch at Restaurant David Toutain (Restaurant David Toutain, Paris): A good food wine. The nose was typical Savigny, with sweet wafts of strawberries and blackcurrants tinged with herb and earth aromas. Nice. The palate showed a good depth of blackcurrants overlaid against a core of sweeter strawberry tones, and then more of those herby tones on the finish, all this framed by fine tannins that gave a slight rustic grip and plenty of fine acidity. There was an easy sweetness to this that went well with the earthier tones and the rustic charms. A nice Savigny, with a great sense of typicity. Very enjoyable with our chicken dish too. Decent when young, though a few more years in the bottle will do it a world of good.

  Bize at their best produce an almost perfect Savigny, extracting just the right amount of lighter, crunchy red fruit in a soft, bright but harmonious experience. Among the simpler burgundies, these can be delightful young, as was their 2010 Les Marconnets a couple of years ago. The 2011 is quite soft but considerably clipped in its expression of fruit, with a pleasant Jr.,singe of blackberry, medium cherry, and dusty earth. This is not their finest vintage and worth consuming now while waiting for the 2010s and 2012s to re- emerge.
