Savigny Lès Beaune, La Dominode, 1er Cru, 2019
justerini & brooks tasting note
A really impressive Dominode. Bursting with character. Great breadth of flavour with generous and sensual fruit - this boasts one of the most glorious textures this cuvée has ever shown. Hearty but smooth, together with a nice, lively aromatic Pinot Noir bittersweet cherry character, offset by classic Dominode earthy depth. Suave and offering plenty of interest. A legendary Savigny parcel of extremely old vines many of which were planted back in 1902.

The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru is earthy but nicely focused on the nose. The palate is sweet on the entry with blood orange tincturing the red fruit, well balanced with a touch of orange zest and marmalade towards the finish. Very fine.
