The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode (Domaine Louis Jadot) is excellent, offering up aromas of raspberries and plums mingled with sweet spices, woodsmoke and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with lively acids and a long, penetrating finish, it's seamless and complete. It's another fine rendition of a cuvée that's regularly among the domaine's high points.

Once again one of the highlights of the range, the 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode (Domaine Louis Jadot) wafts from the glass with notes of cassis, plums, dark chocolate, loamy soil and spices.

One of the highlights of the range this year is the 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode (Domaine Louis Jadot), a lovely wine that offers up a deep bouquet of blackberries and cherries mingled with notes of dark chocolate, burning embers and loamy soil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and succulent, with an ample chassis of powdery tannin, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish.

The 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode (Domaine Louis Jadot) displays appealing aromas of smoky cherries, grilled meats and warm spices, followed by a medium-bodied, structured palate that was a little firm and austere when I tasted it. Given this cuvée's track record, I suspect it will flesh out appreciably by the time it's bottled.
