89-91pts Jasper Morris
Three plots were vinified in three tanks, now assembled. Again, quite a full purple but there is clearly more energy here on the nose, a ripe raspberry fruit. Quite an explosion on the palate with a good balance of acidity and tannin. Long finish. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Oct 2024.

Offering up aromas of cherries, raspberries and spices, the 2023 Savigny-ls-Beaune Vieilles Vignes is medium-bodied, succulent and giving, with an open, charming profile.
TKs notes on 2023 vs. 2022
We have not tasted these 2023s yet but so far with about 40 or so 2023s under our belts tasted the vintage seems fresher in style for 2023 over 2022, though they still have really good fruit concentration and densities, just brighter. For me this bodes very well for the whites that are very classic in style, with powerful textures and driving energy from the acidity, but they also don’t feel sharp, just more energetic and stacked with density that are built to age from the best village level wines and up. The reds are fresh, bright, and more high-toned with more perceptive acidity and tannic structure. Densities and fruit concentration are great, but maybe a touch less than 2022 and more red than dark red fruits, though not strictly so. Ageability is great for both styles/colors in both 2022/2023, it just matters more the style that you prefer. So, in general so far the whites seem more classic than the 2022s, while the reds are also classic with excellent quality. The big difference between both vintages is not a matter of quality, it just comes down to preference of styles. (*Also understand you need to take into context the house style at each domaine)
