Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
Regarded as one of the prime vineyards within Savigny, the Bize family own a substantial, 2.2-hectare plot in this Premier Cru, which they consider to be one of their signature cuvées. With vines planted in 1939, 1949 and 1954, there is a wealth of old vine complexity and depth to be found in this wine. The 2023 is immediately engaging with vibrant notes of cranberry, raspberry, white pepper spice and a hint of savoury wild herbs. Tightly coiled and muscular, the ripe, red-toned fruit is woven around firm, fine-grained tannins and enlivened by mineral-toned acidity. This is a weighty and serious expression of Pinot that will require time to reveal its full potential.
Region
Savigny-lès-Beaune
The picturesque village of Savigny-lès-Beaune, just to the north of Beaune, is a relatively prolific producer in Burgundian terms. Less serious than its neighbours, Pommard and Volnay, these are nonethless delicious wines - perfumed, delicate and elegant. A tiny amount of white is produced.
