Jasper Morris: 93-95 Points

Tasted from a 600 litre barrel. Planted 1902. A beautiful ruby purple. The bouquet is exquisite with a perfumed deep red fruit to rival the best of the Côte de Nuits. Complete on so many levels not just depth of fruit but the structure of the tannins and a little dark pepper too at the finish. Grand Vin.

Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points

The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode was also still quite primary and unevolved when I tasted it from barrel unwinding in the glass with notes of cherries berries licorice and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied layered and concentrated with a chassis of sweet powdery tannin it's built for the cellar.

Burghound: 90-93 Points

A deft dollop of wood easily allows the spicy dark berry fruit aromas to shine. Like many of the wines in the range the medium-bodied flavors are compact and powerful with fine mid-palate density and minerality where the latter adds a sense of lift to the dusty serious and built-to-age finale. Patience again strongly advised. (Drink starting 2034)

Vinous: 92-94 Points

The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru was taken directly from demi-muids though it is raised in regular barrels too. The nose has wonderful delineation and purity: redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit elegant and poised with judicious oak use. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure and grip. The 20% whole bunches is less than others due to the natural pH a wise decision as the finish maintains tension. A gem. (Drink between 2025 - 2040)
