The medium-to-dark ruby-colored Savigny-Les-Beaune offers a black cherry and sugar-coated raspberry nose as well as a lovely, medium-to-full-bodied, and silky personality. Cherries, currants, and strawberries are intertwined in this soft, well-made wine. Drink it between now and 2002.
Bouchard's qualitative resurgence continues. It is extremely gratifying to see the efforts put forth by Joseph Henriot, this negociant's new owner and the talented duo of Misters Hervet and Prost, respectively the firm's director and wine-maker.
