2022 Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Marconnets 750ml

Vines planted in 1973 across .6ha on the right bank of the Rhoin river. "The 2022 Savigny-les-Beaune Les Maconnets 1er Cru is a little more fruit-driven on the nose than Bize's other cuvees, offering lifted blueberry and bilberry scents and hints of wild heather. The medium bodied palate has fine-grain tannins, a little riper than the Les Fournaux. There's more flesh yet with plenty of structure exerting a huge grip, rendering this approachable but with the ability to age in bottle. Classic Pinot Noir.  92-94pts. Neil Martin, Vinous.
