Gerard Mugneret Savigny les Beaune aux Gravains 1er Cru 2022 (750ML)

92-94 JM / 91-93 WA / 90-92 VM

Mid red purple. The bouquet is ravishing in the quality of its dark fruit, enlivened by a fresher red berry aspect. A really attractive sucrosity, then with the brambly qualities of some whole bunch – only 80% for this wine rather than the usual 100%. This is one of the many wines of the year which feels as though it was picked at the perfect date. A delicious perfume suffuses the finish. Drink from 2027-2035. Tasted: November 2023.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Gravains bursts with aromas of plums, raspberries, exotic spices and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, it's textural and vibrant, with sweet tannins and a saline finish.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravains 1er Cru contains 80% whole bunches. Brambly red berry fruit mixed with undergrowth and brown spiced on the nose. The palate is well-balanced, and the stem addition seamlessly integrated. This has a lovely sense of Pinoté with a long and tender finish. What a lovely Savigny.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media
