The Lavieres get their name from the stone found in their sub-soil, which is covered with a very fine layer of stony brown earth (30 cm). This premier cru is very fragrant when young and remains so with age, which is typical of this appellation. It makes a tender, elegant and pleasant wine when young due to its finesse. The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Lavières 1er Cru comes from three small parcels in close proximity. The well-defined nose offers brambly red fruit, touches of sous-bois and a hint of clove. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a slightly grainy texture, gentle grip and a lovely graphite-tinged, edgy finish.
