Community Tasting Note

  April 28, 2017 - Proper Burgundy for a bargain - this is striding into a great place now and will stay there for a long time; the 98 was drinking beautifully earlier this year. The palate shifts between dark fruit wiith meaty sous-bois to refined cherries and there is a finely woven structure across the palate that clicks this into place beautifully. Punching way above its appelation.

Interested to hear the '98 still drinking well. Although Savigny is seen as humble stuff, with enough patience, longevity and the right grower, it can evolve into something quite wonderful.

Try also the wonderful wines of Sylvian Pataille from Marsannay - they really are quite superb, especially the Bourgogne Rouge Chapitre which should (just) come in under £30. I buy his Marsannay each year as well.
