Tasting notes
Mid crimson. Riper on the nose than the Grands Liards. Smells rich and generous, which it is on the palate. Velvet-smooth tannins and deep, caressing and then a burst of freshness on the finish. Complete, delicious. (JH)

The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Fournaux 1er Cru offers earthy, brambly red fruit on the nose, along with touches of undergrowth and bay leaf, all nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with mulberry and blackberry notes, soft in the mouth at first, yet the structure makes its presence felt toward the saline finish. Very fine and classic in style.
The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Fournaux reveals notes of ripe cherries, rose petal and warm soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate with satiny tannins and good depth at the core, displaying attractive energy though it's a touch short on the finish and lacks some of the definition found in a top vintage.
