2023, Domaine Tollot-Beaut, SAVIGNY-LAVIÈRESAnother fine deep purple. Here the bouquet is noticeably less solar. Even so, there is a slight peachiness on the nose, but it is pure red fruit on the palate with weight and an attractive warmth. Excellent length, mostly on the raspberry. Succulent and satisfying. **** 89 92 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy. Intense crimson. Bright, sweet fruit, and lots of interest and charm. Good value. 16. 5 20 Jancis Robinson (15 01 2025).

is dominated by ripe stone fruit and more of that textured
