About the Producer
Region: Savigny-lès-Beaune
Guillaume Camus is a rising star in the Côte de Beaune and his stunning 2020s, produced from exceptionally old vines, impressed us from the very beginning. Despite picking early, on the 25th of August, the fruit came in between just 13.0 and 13.6%. To avoid over extraction, temperatures were kept low during fermentation and during élevage large 500 litre oak barrels were used to maintain the purity of the fruit. Showing great elegance and complexity with silky textures, the 2020s are arguably even better than the 2019s which received rave reviews from Neal Martin (Vinous). They offer great value and we are delighted to be offering them to you for the first time.
Tasting Notes
By James Snoxell, Fine Wine Buyer
2020 Savigny-les-Beaune Cuvée Reine Joly
£234 per 12 bottle case in bond
Named after Guillaume’s great-great-grandmother, this has a pure bouquet of sweet strawberries and wild forest fruits. A very pretty palate of succulent cassis and vibrant raspberry fruits is supported by silky tannins – really attractive. Drink from 2023.
2020 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Gravains
£159 per 6 bottle case in bond
Displaying superb clarity of fruit, the nose reveals crushed strawberry and cherry scents with darker plum notes coming through. Gorgeously textured and layered on the palate, supple wild berry flavours and seamless tannins lead to a long finish. This is a beautifully balanced and very appealing Savigny-lesBeaune. Drink from 2024.
