A fine even purple. Ripe raspberry fruit, nicely harnessed, with the slightly firm tannins from this vineyard which has a little more clay below the surface. It is in no way heavy though, just bears a more solid frame which will support longer ageing. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Dec 2024.  Jasper Morris 90-92

The 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières ler Cru has impressive delineation with judicious use of 23% whole bunch. Touches of blackberry, red fruit, wild hedgerow and black pepper emerge with time. The palate is well balanced and delicately spiced with wonderful poise, gentle grip and a little more depth and backbone on the finish. This is classy. Bon vin. Neal Martin / Vinous Media 92-94
