This is one of the few wines in the range to exhibit any appreciable wood influence though it's still subtle on the spicy and more floral-suffused nose of red and dark pinot fruit. The mouthfeel is generous to the point of being plush with a suave texture to the middle weight flavors that are, like those of the Bressandes, relatively powerful which isn't usually the case, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, stony and firm finale. Once again, this is sufficiently compact to need at least moderate keeping.  Burghound 91-93

 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
