Allen Meadows, Burghound, April 2007.
A beautiful nose of red, blue and black pinot fruit plus hints of violets leads to complex, pure, round and sweet flavors that display plenty of pungent Savigny earth plus a touch of the sauvage on the robust, firmly structured and ever-so-slightly rustic finish. Lovely and very Savigny in underlying character. 89-92 points

Geoffroy Choppin de Janvry said that 2005 gave a “positively superb quality of fruit, particularly in the sense of fruit/acid/tannin balance. Moreover, the crop was so clean that it was almost not worth the trouble to bother sorting. .... When you have fruit this good with such ripe structural elements, the vinification is usually easy and so it was with 2005 too. For me, as good as 1999 is, 2005 is better still.” M. de Janvry was not boasting about the fruit quality because it is reflected in the quality of resulting wines and I heartily recommend these ‘05s to you.
