Revealing a flinty, stony nose, the Savigny Les Beaune Les Vermots has a vibrant metallic minerality to its mouth. This delicious medium-bodied wine should be consumed over the next 5 years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.

Note: Vincent Girardin sells wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars (Eric Solomon, tel (212) 924-4949). The wines marked with an asterisk (*) indicate that the same vineyard designation can be found through European Cellars, but the wine will not be the same as those listed here as Eric Solomon selects the barrels he wants.
