The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Guettes 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet that blossoms in the glass: an enticing mélange of red and black fruit light loamy aromas and a hint of morels. The palate is medium-bodied with a lively forward entry. There is good acidity and a sense of energy in this Savigny though it needs a little more depth and grip on the finish but that may well develop in the barrel during the second winter. (Drink between 2026 - 2038)
Discreet but still easily perceptible wood sets off gamy aromas of forest floor humus and ripe dark berries. The sleeker though not denser medium-bodied flavors flash even more evident minerality on the more austere but equally long structured and quite serious finale. As is always the case with this wine it doesn't and won't play well young so it's pretty much a no compromise wine e.g. age it or don't buy it. (Drink starting 2032)
