Patrick Javillier Savigny-les-Beaune ‘les Montchenevoy’

The palate is bright, mineral, and finely etched, opening with lemon zest, green apple, and crisp pear. The fruit feels clean and taut, shaped by the cool 2021 vintage and the vineyard’s high‑slope position. A mid‑palate of white peach, almond, and gentle floral lift adds quiet roundness, but the wine stays firmly linear, driven by a thread of chalky, hillside minerality. The texture is silky but tense, showing more precision than weight. As it opens, subtle hints of wet stone and citrus cream emerge, giving depth without softening the wine’s freshness. The finish is long, lightly saline, and citrus‑edged, tapering with notes of lemon pith, apple skin, and a faint herbal echo. Overall, it’s a fresh, mineral, high‑slope expression of Savigny — elegant, lifted, and beautifully aligned with Javillier’s precise house style.
