Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er cru Les Fourneaux 2012

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2012 aux Fourneaux is another outstanding wine, delivering a deep, pure and focused bouquet of black cherries, red currants, dark berries, espresso, bonfire, a bit of gamebird and a very complex base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very refined on the attack, with a rock solid core, ripe, fine-grained tannins and excellent length and grip on the classic finish. All this beauty needs is some time in the cellar! 2024-2065. (Mar/Apr 2014)”

93 points Fine Wine Review: “The Fourneaux is dense, pure, and intense with dark fruit that needs more time to gain definition. The wine also shows finesse. Give this wine several years before broaching it, but it shows all the potential. (5/17/15)”
