The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune les Peuillets 1er Cru, matured in around 20% new oak and 20% whole bunches, has another pretty nose with cranberry and wild strawberry notes and a touch of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, pliant tannins. There's a little more weight on the mid-palate with a structured, slightly graphite finish that lingers. The 2021 is cool, calm and collected.
The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets was a little introverted when I tasted it, showing a touch of reduction (perfectly normal at this stage of élevage), but it opens in the glass to exhibit notes of red berries, lilac and blood orange, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate framed by powdery tannins.
Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to assess. There is a bit more volume and richness to the lightly stony medium weight flavors that possess slightly better complexity on the equally precise, balanced and youthfully austere finale. This is very Peuillets in style.
