2023 Tawse Savigny Les Lavieres
Secondary Description
Vignes de la Famille Tawse
Les Lavieres is a fine Savigny premier cru; it sits mid-slope on the cusp of the curve between the road to Beaune and the road to Pernand-Vergelesses. This is supple and full-bodied, and aromatically explosive, bursting with red fruit and exuberant spice. Dense and complex, this will age very well. (NT 18/12/24)

The 2023 Savigny-les-Beaune Les Lavieres 1er Cru is all destemmed this year. It has a pretty, lightly spiced bouquet with brambly red fruit notes and touches of bay leaf developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and cohesive with a pleasant sapidity on the entry. It has moderate depth and fine structure on the finish that will be very tempting in its youth. This is much better than the 2022. 89-91 points

Destemmed, 20% new wood, now racked to tank. A lovely fresh crimson colour. Mixed red berries, including strawberry, this is unforced and very pleasing. Tannins, lighter acidity, but the fruit wins through. 90-91 points
