Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
The village-level Fournaux in this cuvée is given extra oomph by the inclusion of a proportion of old vine fruit from the Premier Cru section of this same vineyard. As Claude herself states, this is a “super village”, overdelivering against its humble appellation. The 2023 shows an aromatic and beguiling nose with notes of black cherry and sun-warmed raspberries that are underpinned by a smoky minerality almost reminiscent of graphite. There is a lovely volume of fruit sweetness here, which nonetheless allows a stony freshness to shine through. A gentle framework of ripe tannins leaves a pleasing, chalky grip on the finish.
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.
