Domaine Camp-Atthalin, Savigny Les Beaune Rouge 'Les Petits Picotins' 2022
17.5/20
‘There is something Banksy about this utterly beguiling Savigny. Like walking around a corner on an ordinary street on an ordinary day expecting the usual things and then, there it is! A picture that changes the beat, changes your perception, makes you stop and look more closely. Just like this wine. Every line of it is striking, different, magnetic. Kohl and graphite outline wild (intensely sweet) strawberries. Nested between fruit and dark minerals are earth-drawn notes of nettle tea, crushed chestnuts, sorrel underfoot when you're walking through a woodland, bracken. I've never tasted a Savigny-lès-Beaune quite like it. (And, for what it's worth, when you take a sip and wait, breathe, it's like drinking peppermint tea ... the finish is extraordinarily cool and fresh.) This wine makes me want to go dancing under street lamps.’ Drink 2024-2034 (Tamlyn Currin of Jancisrobinson.com)
