The 2020 Savigny-Dominode 1er Cru has a fresh bouquet with fine delineation, leaning more towards the red side of the fruit spectrum, touches of musk filtering through the cranberry and strawberry, a little earthiness with time. The palate is well balanced with pliant tannins, the whole bunch here neatly integrated with a judicious touch of white pepper towards the finish. This works much better than some of Chanson’s other reds and it should age well in bottle. Closure: Diam ... More details

Enough wood to notice sets off the spicier though equally earthy aromas of plum, dark pinot fruit and discreet violet nuances. There is very good energy and better refinement if not the same mid-palate density to the palate coating, balanced and youthfully austere finale. Note that this is sufficiently structured to reward a decade plus of cellaring.

Enticing aromas and flavors of black cherry, black currant and sandalwood highlight this firmly structured red. Ends with lightly chewy tannins and an aftertaste of fruit and spice. Best from 2023 through 2033. 50 cases imported.

If you`re looking for a very concentrated and compact red Burgundy for a moderate price, then this one could be for you. Even in the deeply colored context of 2020, this is almost inky dark, but with a vividly youthful violet rim. Brimming with sour-cherry and forest-berry aromas, it has a dense tannin structure for this supposedly light appellation. Really packs a punch at the bold finish, but also impressive freshness. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
Winery
Dark ruby color. Intense aromas of blueberries and elderberries. Well-structured and dense. The tannins are quite present and give an idea of the excellent aging capability of this wine. Long finish.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir grapes have been cultivated in and around the Burgundy region of France for centuries, where they have long been favored by vintners for their wide range of flavors, their thin skins and for producing wines which have light, smooth tannins, and a beautiful garnet red color Whilst they remain one of the flagship varietals of this special region, their wide popularity and recent status as a fashionable 'romantic' varietal has led to them being planted in almost every wine producing country in the world. However, the Pinot Noir demands a huge amount of care and attention from the wineries that wish to grow it, as this varietal is particularly susceptible to various forms of mildew and rot. Despite this, the grape is otherwise a favorite with wineries for the fact that it requires little extra effort once it begins fermentation. Pinot Noir is also widely known for producing some of the world's most famous sparkling wines, being one of two key grapes for the production of Champagne, and several other sparkling varieties.

Region: Burgundy

The region of Burgundy has become synonymous with high quality red wines, but in actual fact the region consistently produces a wide variety of fine wines of many different styles, rigorously protected by French wine laws designed to keep reputations and quality at a very high level. The region benefits greatly from a warm and sunny summer climate, which, coupled with the excellent quality soils which typify the region, and centuries of experience and expertise, has led to the region being known all over the world for the excellence of its produce. The majority of grapevines grown here are of the Pinot Noir varietal, which has helped Burgundy become known as the definitive region for elegant and smooth red wines, but Chardonnay grapes and many others are also grown in abundance and used to make both still and sparkling wines.
