2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune, Benjamin Leroux, Burgundy

Description

This is deliciously moreish, with sweet strawberry fruit and cranberry bite for lift. The final blend included some wine aged in large foudres (three out of the thirteen barrels made), which adds a heartier, richer texture and rounds out the wine. While this is simple, it is far from one-dimensional. The wine comes from vines in Les Conardises and the village section of Les Fourneaux vineyards. This is very appealing and at its peak now.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 89/100
Was barrel now in foudre. All village in 2017, the 1er cru has been made apart. Medium deep red, with an attractive savoury deep red fruit on the nose, followed by a surprising weight of fresh cherry fruit and then some additional lifted quality from a few stems (Fourneaux) at the back. Not massive but very pretty, and actually with exceptionally persistence. Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (November 2018)

Part aged in large foudre.Feels like a heavy bottle? But with any luck, he has mended his ways since 2017. Transparent garnet. It smells like red burgundy! (With very slight sweatiness.) But on the palate, it's razor-sharp and just about ready to enjoy—proper Savigny with no faults or rough edges on the palate. You couldn’t say it's great value, but it's very well made. It has a rather nice grainy, stony finish and is admirably long.Drink 2023 - 2030jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)
