2022 Bouchard Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavieres

James Suckling

In stock

A darker fruited and yet refined Premier Cru from Savigny-les-Beaune in Burgundy. The Les Lavieres vineyard has stony soils offering great drainage, with the resulting expression typical of the Bouchard bottlings from this site: dark fruit and licorice/mineral aspects with lovely depth and structure. A serious and characterful Premier Cru for a very good price.

$105.00 in mixed 6+ or $120.00 per bottle

Its Origins

Today the Burgundian wine domaine of Bouchard Pere et Fils can trace its origins back to 1731, though it is no longer family owned. In 1995 the Champagne house Joseph Henriot acquired the company and quality has risen as a consequence. Bouchard is led by Stéphane Follin Arbelet, while the wines are made by Philippe Prost - who has been with the company since 1978. An impressive gravity-flow winery on the Route de Savigny, the Cuvérie St Vincent, was completed in 2005 and enables them to process all their wines with optimum efficiency. Bouchard’s total holdings comprise 130 hectares, including 12ha of grand crus and 74ha of premier crus, which makes them the largest vineyard owners in the Côte d’Or.

What The Critics Say

93-94/100 JamesSuckling.com, Stuart Pigott

"This excellent Savigny-les-Beaune has a wonderful nose of red fruits with plenty of black raspberries and only a hint of toasty oak. Rich fruit on the medium-bodied palate that’s underlined by plenty of fine tannins. Lively acidity keeps this bright. From a four-hectare plot with a high percentage of limestone. Long, very elegant finish."

90-92/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, William Kelley

"Offering up aromas of sweet cherries, plums and licorice, the 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières is medium to full-bodied, broad and charming, with a sweet, fleshy core of fruit that largely conceals its supple structuring tannins. This will offer a wide drinking window."
