Description

Matured in 30% new oak, the 2014 Savigny lès Beaune 1Er Cru Clos des Guettes has a focused, undergrowth-tinged bouquet with a light ferrous touch. The palate is bounding with freshness, the tannins supple and lithe, and the acidity is well judged. There is good depth here, a pleasing creamy texture already in place with quite a long, spicy finish. This has good potential once in bottle. Drink:2018~2030 - WA90~92

A fresh, ripe and expressive nose of both red and blue pinot fruit is liberally sprinkled with pungent warm earth aromas that are trimmed in enough wood to notice. There is a refined mouth feel to the attractively delineated and stony middle weight flavors that possess good balance on the delicious if ever-so-mildly woody finale that is also slightly austere but not dry. There is sufficient underlying material that my projected range assumes that the oak treatment will be successfully integrated with time in bottle. Drink:2022+ - BH89~91

The Winery

The domaine was established in 1988 when the parents of Anne-Françoise, Jean and Jeanine Gros of Vosne-Romanée decided to let go of a few parcels of the family domaine (The domaine was initially known under the names of Gros-Renaudot, then Louis Gros, and after inheritance, Jean Gros).

At the same time Anne-Françoise aquired a domaine in Flagey-Échezeaux, and later with her husband, François Parent, purchased a vineyard in Savigny-les-Beaune.

Shortly thereafter, François added to the domaine his own vineyards in Pommard that he inherited from his family. Being the 13th generation of winemakers, he continues to aquire knowledge and techniques that enable him to vinify his wines so that they express the typicity and complexity of the aromas of the Pinot Noir.

Together they decided to unite the two domaines and install in Beaune the caves, cuverie and buildings.
