Patrick Javillier Savigny-les-Beaune ‘Serpentieres’

The palate is silky, ripe, and quietly structured, opening with Morello cherry, raspberry, and red plum. The fruit feels generous but not heavy, shaped by the warm 2020 vintage and the vineyard’s natural elegance. A mid‑palate of redcurrant, soft spice, and a touch of dried rose adds lift and aromatic charm. The tannins are fine, supple, and gently textural, giving the wine a flowing, seamless feel — exactly the character highlighted in critic notes. A subtle thread of earth, warm stone, and light herbal nuance brings Savigny’s classic savory edge without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long, graceful, and lightly spiced, tapering with notes of cherry skin, cranberry, and a faint mineral echo. Overall, it’s a seductive, smooth, red‑fruited 1er Cru Savigny — ripe from the vintage, but beautifully balanced and aromatic.
