2023, Domaine A. -F. Gros, SAVIGNY-LÈS-BEAUNE, 1er cru, 'Clos des Guettes'A fresh crimson colour, with some elegance to the bouquet where fresh red cherries meet the alpine strawberries, softly scented. A pleasing supple fruit across the palate, very modest tannins, and good length. Drink from 2029 2033. Tasted Oct 2024. *** 89 91 Jasper Morris MW.

from the team at Château Lafleur

Ceylon tea and liquorice with a core of black currant cordial

showing a little touch of oak

with both firmer tannins and a sound thread of acidity

The 2024 Figeac is a lovely classic

Very good tension

The medium to full-bodied palate is very tightly knit with vibrant black and blue fruit layers and red berry sparks

The Bâtard is still in barrel

This is supremely well focused
