The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Fournaux, which comes from vines located on the mid-slope, has a tightly wound, pressed rose petal-tinged bouquet that clearly possesses more harmony and cohesion than the village cru. The palate is grainy on the entry with dusky black fruit, quite pointed acidity and showing some bitter cherry, earthy notes on the masculine, austere finish. It needs the flesh that I anticipated in this vintage - this feels a little raw compared to the Pernand-Vergelesses from Chandon des Briailles.
