Savigny Lès Beaune, La Dominode, 1er Cru, 2018

This contains one of the biggest whole-bunch ferment percentages at the estate, 45%, which is a new trial with this cuvée and one that seems to have worked brilliantly. One of the best, most lifted Dominodes we can remember tasting. Brilliant, shimmering fruit notes of wild berry and cherry with a savoury, undergrowth complexity. Incredibly tight-knit and gripping but with a really focused, intense core. Deep but vital, this awakens the senses. A legendary Savigny parcel of extremely old vines many of which were planted back in 1902.
