ABOUT THE WINE
Founded by Antonin in the 1960s and now run by the second generation, this Savigny-les-Beaune domaine farms parcels across the Côte d’Or, including select Premier and Grand Cru sites. Hand-harvested fruit is sorted in the vineyard; élevage is classical with no more than 50% new oak, yielding wines of freshness and purity. 2018 in Burgundy was a warm, generous vintage producing ripe, healthy grapes with excellent natural balance—ideal for supple, fragrant reds.
TASTING NOTES
Translucent ruby. Bright cherry and wild raspberry lead, with hints of violet, cranberry and subtle baking spice. The palate is silky and finely structured, showing chalky minerality and polished, fine-grained tannins. Ripe but poised, the finish is long, precise and elegant.
FOOD PAIRING
Serve slightly chilled with summer salads, charcuterie, or roast chicken; equally at home with pork dishes, mushroom risotto, or soft rind cheeses.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
A standout 2018 Burgundy: generous fruit wrapped in classic Côte d’Or finesse. Delicious now after a brief aeration, with 5–8 years of graceful development ahead.
