2024, Domaine Tollot-Beaut, SAVIGNY-LAVIÈRES, 1er CruThe 2024 Savigny ls Beaune Les Lavires 1er Cru does not quite have the complexity of the Chorey ls Beaune on the nose. It just needs a bit more horsepower. The palate is better, quite fresh with fine tannins, pretty cranberry and strawberry notes though it is a bit short on the finish. I will be prudent with my score for now. 85 87 Neal Martin, Vinous (2026). A bright lighter ruby. Positive raspberry fruit on the nose, with some oak taken from an

nervy Pape Clément that represents a new era here

Gorgeous bright plum colour with violet reflections

with the extra grain of tension in this vintage

A drier finish

93-94 James Suckling (Tasted June 2022)

and it will evolve beautifully on its balance over the coming two-plus decades

middleweight flavours that exude an almost pungent minerality on the dusty

From the fruit of 5 climats: Plateaux

Very impressive in terms of depth and backbone/grip with iodine and oyster shells towards the finish

with more acidity

a lovely dry palate with a fine tension that lingers

it's velvety and enveloping
