Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune Grands Liards 2022

93 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "From 1.6 hectares on a shallow slope below Les Lavières with more clay in the soil. The grapes are fermented as mostly whole clusters and aged using little new wood to produce this wine with a lovely, singing fruit and floral notes up front. The texture is silky and fine - among the most approachable in the cellar during its youth. It should open three to five years after harvest and is perfect for mid-term ageing. Drinking Window: 2027-2045. (11/2/23)"

91-93 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Grands Liards has a beguiling nose: dark berry fruit, cranberry, hints of iris floor and a light potpourri scent. Wonderful definition. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly powdery tannins at the moment. It offers crisp and vivacious dark berry fruit laced with Earl Grey, gently fanning out towards a refined and cohesive finish. Superb. Drink: 2026-2038. (Jan 2024)"

90-93 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "A deeper ruby than the straight village wine. The nose is more on the fruit, less floral, less immediately forthcoming. More reserved but with correspondingly a longer future. Plenty of energy, some white pepper, darker fruit. Solidly based without losing charm. (Nov 2023)"
