($37, L’Esprit du Vin): The wines from Savigny-lès-Beaune, a village just north of Beaune (lès means near), lacking the prestige of its more famous neighbor, can offer good value when they are made by top producers, such as Domaine Antonin Guyon. Rather concentrated for a wine from Savigny, this village wine maintains the energy and tension often associated with a premier cru. A healthy dose of savory notes that balances and complements the fruitiness reminds you this is real Burgundy. It has the charm of Burgundy and is ready to enjoy now.
