The 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune Grands Picotins has fine lift on the nose with raspberry, dark cherries and attractive sous-bois aromas. There is clearly very good vigor here. The palate is medium-bodied with nonchalant swagger about it. Animated and energetic, this is a Savigny that is surfeit with class. Great winemaking here - this punches well above its station. Drink now-2018. It was great to see Alex Gambal again in Burgundy. This was another producer that I regularly review that slipped through the net last November. These five notes make a start and I include them in this article since they orbit Savigny. But I will endeavor to taste the remaining 2012s, especially because their reds were so impressive and as is often the case with Alex-s wines, great value. There are several importers in the United States.

Aromatic, with floral and vegetal notes giving way to strawberry and cherry flavors. Concentrated and dense, despite the wiry frame. Long finish. Best from 2017 through 2025. 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Savigny-lès-Beaune Select to Add
