Jadot’s 2002 Savigny-Les-Beaune is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Its white flower-scented nose leads to an expansive, white pepper-laced, medium-bodied character. Silky-textured, expressive, and supple, this is a wine to drink over the next 5-6 years (though I have recently tasted a 30-year-old white Savigny-Les-Beaune from Jadot that was anything but dead).

The Savigny-Les-Beaune, produced from 60% Pinot Blanc and 40% Chardonnay, has freshly cut flower aromas. This wine has a juicy, silky-textured, medium-bodied, zesty, floral, anise, and mineral-flavored character. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; (212) 490-9300.

The Gageys make no bones about rating 1989, 1985, and 1986 as significantly richer, more complex vintages for white burgundy than 1992. Their 1992s are successful, but based on my impressions of the 1992s vis a vis the 1989s, 1986s, and 1985s, I would agree with their assessment.The white winemaking philosophy in low acid years such as 1992 is to only do a partial malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the natural acidity. This has proven to be a highly successful policy, resulting in some of the longest-lived white burgundies of the region. Jadot's 1992 Savigny Les Beaune (made from 60% Pinot Blanc and 40% Chardonnay) is acidic, lean, and austere. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY.
