Louis Chenu et Filles, Savigny-Lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons 2022
The Wine
89 Pts Alan Meadows, Burghound 'An exuberantly fresh and bright nose speaks mostly of red and dark currant, humus and a whisper of the sauvage. The rich and very generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess solid mid-palate density, all wrapped in a lingering, moderately firm and youthfully austere finale. This well-made effort could also use more depth but a few years of keeping should reward the patient.'
16.5/20 Pts Matthew Hayes, Jancisrobinson.com '0.75 ha (1.85 acres), north facing on the Beaune side of Savigny. Cask sample. Dark raspberry and cherry, with some woodland freshness and greenness. Lots of structure, quietly firm tannins. Nicely spiced finish, but more for the longer haul.'

About the Wine Maker 
Louis Chenu began a winemaking dynasty when he purchased various parcels of Savigny-les-Beaune in 1914. The Domaine is now in its fifth generation, with dynamic duo sisters Juliette and Caroline firmly at the helm. The Domaine is composed mostly of 40 to 60 years old vines and are considered some of the best ‘under the radar’ wines from the Cote de Beaune. In the early days, from humble beginnings, the previous Chenu generations mainly sold their grapes to negociants. The sisters are now making their mark in their own right, with the quality of the wines now gathering attention far and wide.
The vineyards are organic certified. The sisters working the vines as the season demands - never too much, never too little. The result of this care in the vineyard and observance of tradition in the winery, produce wines that are truly reflective of their place, honoring their Savigny origins. The wines manifested characters are a product of of soft and considered hands. They caress, refresh and highly drinkable. A Gourmand’s delight as well as super value propositions considering the current Burgundy pricing climate.
