Haven't posted many notes lately, in spite of a plethora of great wines
this summer, and I keep thinking about it. But this time, right next to
the computer as in town for a few days, and for a going away dinner
opened this Arnoux Pere et Fils Savigny-Les-Beaune "Les Pimemtiers" 2011,
with roast poussin stuffed with wild rice and grapes.

A lovely mature dark fruit pinot nose upon opening, and initially quite
mature tasting before opening into fresh pinot cherry with layers of herb
and sous-bois. Clean and straight forward with decent length. Really an
enjoyable Arnoux and a great bargain for anyone who can find it, I think
we paid Mme around 12 EU for it. Will age but too enjoyable now to leave
hanging around.

Thanks Emery! Always on the lookout for a quality bottle below $20 USD.

Unfortunately, in US prices range from $27 for the 08 (PLCB) to 38 for other vintages. :(

But it does sound good

Thanks for the notes, Emery. I had no idea that Arnoux made a Savigny.
My go-to producers there are Pavelot, Rollin and Chandon de Briailles.
I love the wines of Ecard, but he retired.

Wow, that's too bad. Hard to justify paying near 40, but such is the
price of Bourgogne I guess. :(

Pretty close to my list - my recent Savigny buys are mostly Bize, Pavelot, Camus-Bruchon, and CdBriailles.
Love Rollin for Pernand and Haut Cotes de Beaune, but don't think I've tried the Savigny(s).
Pre-2004 Ecard was great. The Maurice Ecard label still exists, but since 2005 it's a corporate holding, and wasn't impressed. His son Michel makes wine, but I think doesn't have the sites that were backbone of his dad's wines.

Small producer in Chorey Les Beaune. Pretty good for the price. The Savigny Vergleslesses 1er is about $50.
