Savigny-lès-Beaune, La Dominode, 1er Cru, 2024

Vivid fruit on the nose and then classic Dominode minerality and grip. Wild dark fruits, floral notes, and a touch of sweet earth. A little wildflower note here, and a ridge of gripping tannin to steer the wine and cleanse the finish. Bittersweet, savoury undertones, but also a gentle structure. This has classic Dominode character set in the gentle vintage style.?Really successful. Arthur and Edouard have been adapting their approach to this cuvee over the last couple of vintages, by lowering the whole bunch percentages and extracting more gently. A legendary Savigny parcel of extremely old vines many of which were planted back in 1902.
