The 1990 Savigny Les Beaune-Les Vergelesses is slightly more impressive than the 1990 Pernand-Vergelesses-Ile de Vergelesses. The color has a purple hue, and the sweet nose of cherries, oak, and herbs is enticing. In the mouth, this medium-bodied wine displays fine structure, concentration, and balance, as well as soft tannins and low acid in the lusty finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
Dubreuil has always made fashionable, elegant, light-colored wines known for their finesse, not to mention their precociousness and easy drinkability. I thought the 1990s to be the densest, most highly extracted wines I have tasted from this cellar. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA.
