Boursot Savigny-les-Beaune 2020

The Boursots began making wine in Chambolle-Musigny in 1550; for centuries, like many Burgundy domaines, they sold their entire production each year to the negociants of Beaune. Today it’s brothers Romauld and Romaric making the wines as the 15th generation of Boursots. Vinous’s Neal Martin describes Boursot’s wines as “superb,” “excellent,” “very fine,” and “worth seeking out.”

This wine shows ripe berry fruit that Martin called “lively and quite generous.” The balance between ripe 2020 fruit and crisp, chalky precision is perfectly executed. It should drink well beginning around the end of the year, and we think it’s a very good value.
