Simon Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune les Grands Liards 2020 (750ML)

93 DE / 90-92+ WA / 90-92 VM

The grapes are fermented as mostly whole clusters and aged using little new wood, to produce this wine with a lovely, singing fruit and floral notes up front. The texture is silky and fine; this is among the most approachable in the cellar during its youth. From 1.6ha on a shallow slope below Les Lavières, with more clay in the soil.—Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

Notes of elderberries, plums and cassis mingled with creamy spices and black truffle introduce the 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Grands Liards, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine that's lively and penetrating. This is always one of the more muscular, less ethereal wines in the range, and its track record for developing in bottle is excellent.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
