Notes:

Here the expressive nose is compositionally similar to the Pernand villages but with notably more pronounced earth elements. There is an attractive mouth feel to the middle weight and vibrant flavors that are shaped by more refined tannins than are usually present, all wrapped in a solidly concentrated if mildly rustic finale. A quality Savigny.   Burghound 88-90

This was the wine that hooked me on Rollin's Reds. I was at a tasting with close to 40 wines - I was about half way through the lineup when the Savigny Grands Liards was poured.   I immediately had to find out more information about this.  The sappy old vine quality to the texture really struck me first and then as I swished it around in my mouth I could see that it had structure, great minerality and at the same time amazingly light on its feet.  Classic Burgundy that is pleasurable now but will become even more elegant and refined over time - Superb!
