The 2015 Savigny les Beaune 1Er Cru Clos des Guettes, matured in 30% new oak, offers pleasant cranberry jus and wild strawberry scents on the nose, just a touch of orange rind in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm and grippy tannin, the red merging with black fruit towards the slightly savory finish, a touch of gaminess on the aftertaste. This is a fine Savigny les Beaune and a worthy follow-up to the 2014.
Cask sample. 50% new oak. Mid greyish crimson. Sweet-fruited aroma. Plum and cherry. Chewy but fresh and with a lively mouth-watering finish. (JH)
