Vinous (90-92)The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Vergelesses 1er Cru Blanc, matured in one-third new oak, is clearly a step up from the Savigny Blanc, delivering greater mineralité and terroir expression, touches of lime flower and dandelion emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a sedate entry, then builds toward a precise, lilting finish. Delightful. |

Vinous (86-88)The 2018 Aloxe-Corton Le Suchot offers plenty of brambly red and black fruit that is just a little muted at the moment. The compact palate is medium-bodied with quite dense tannins and a little shortness on the finish, which should gain more depth by bottling. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from vines located in two small parcels just above Pernand. It has a fragrant bouquet of crème fraiche, yellow flowers, orange pith and apricot. The palate is smooth and nicely focused, offering notes of lime cordial and orange pith, and rounded in texture, with subtle tropical notes toward the finish. Very drinkable even at this prenatal stage. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Vergelesses 1er Cru was somewhat muted on the nose compared to other Premier Crus from Bize. It didn’t want to come out and play on the day of my visit! The palate is medium-bodied and demonstrates good intensity, perhaps the most structure and grip of the range, and lovely raspberry and light spicy notes toward the finish. Give this three or four years to allow the aromatics to open. |

The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, firm tannins and good acidity that segues into a more elegant and silky-smooth finish, leaving a touch of sea salt on the aftertaste. |
