2021, Domaine Tollot-Beaut, SAVIGNY-LAVIERESThe 2021 Savigny ls Beaune Les Lavires 1er Cru has an attractive nose with light cranberry, raspberry and briary scents. There's a fine definition, if not huge intensity. The palate is medium bodied with pliant tannins, a crisp line of acidity and a gentle grip toward the citrus fresh finish. This works better than the Chorey ls Beaune. 88 90 Neal Martin, Vinous. Drinking Window: 2024 2032
