George’s Pick. Staff Favorite.
Savigny’s most seductive side from the premier cru Les Narbantons. Deep ruby with a lifted, elegant nose of red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, and rose petal, layered with subtle spice, tea leaf, and forest floor. The palate is silky and precise with fine chalky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mouthwatering finish. Charming now and even better with a few years of rest.
