Edmond Cornu & Fils Savigny-les-Beaune Rouge

Pierre refers to this wine as “le chat“, a nod to its feline grace and silky subtlety. it sees a mere 10% new barrels, and provides a terrific encapsulation of the Cornu house style: deep, ripe, and rugged, with a pronounced element of earth and plenty of spice—albeit on a less-structured frame than its brethren from Cornu's more firmly built appellations. The Savigny is supple and generous, with an underlying succulence derived from its vibrant acid-fruit interplay.
