Very pale as usual - the whole bunch fermentations tending to reduce colour depth but add to the overall depth of flavour. Strawberry sweet and round, really nicely juicy, delicate and pure, ending with a surprisingly directed long mineral finish. L&S (Jan 2012)

This steps up the aromatic refinement while keeping the complexity with its broad nose of red berry fruit that evidence nuances of underbrush, stone and warm earth. There is good richness but also good cut and plenty of underlying tension to the medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a linear, balanced and vibrant finish. Lovely. 2018+ Rating: 90-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2012)
Perfumed, silky and graceful, with sweet raspberry fruit, freshness and minerality. Rating: 17 Decanter Magazine (Feb 2012)
Bright, palish red. Tangy raspberry and cherry aromas are accented by crushed stone and citrus zest. Densely packed and vibrant, with excellent definition and grip to the flavors of raspberry, crushed stone and blood orange. Finishes floral and long. Quite refined for this cuvee. Savigny yields were low in 2010 owing to the estate's high percentage of old vines and the bad flowering, noted Claude de Nicolay. Rating: 90 - 92 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jan 2012)
Domaine Chandon de Briailles
One of the great family domaines of the Côte d'Or, housed in the remarkable manor house at Savigny, with excellent holdings in Savigny itself and in neighbouring Pernand and on the hill of Corton. Organic since 1988 and, now, biodynamic (fully certified by Demeter and Ecocert). It is run by brother and sister François and Claude de Nicolaÿ. As François explains, they do not make 'bêtes de concours' or competition wines, but ones you drink. They have over the last few years progressed the renewal of the barrels of the domaine - there is still very little actual new wood, 5% new wood on the premiers crus, and 10% on the Grands crus, but they have replaced the oldest barrels which they have come to understand did have an effect of closing the wines down.
