Bouchard Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er cru Lavières 2020

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$85 list] An intense nose, with deep concentration of red berries, pomegranate and rose in this wine. The palate has an elegant wash of acidity, cutting the richness of fruit and florality. The tannins are powerful and some tartness is evident, creating a scrumptious wine that will soften with further aging. Cellar beyond 2030. Alcohol 13.5%. (Nov 2023)"

91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières wafts from the glass with notions of rich berry fruit, cherries and plums mingled with smoke and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with fine concentration, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish, it's a sleeper of the vintage well worth seeking out. (Jan 2022)"

91 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "A lively red, with a pure, focused band of cherry and strawberry fruit. Gains interest from vegetal and spice accents as this cruises to the lingering, spicy finish. Well-structured and long. Drink now through 2030. 80 cases imported. (5/31/23)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(Practically 4 ha, south-facing). That’s bright and energetic – quite the red fruit aroma for this one. Supple, silky, mouth-filling. Wide and very delicious – that’s directly a great Lavières – super finesse! (Dec 2021)"
