Albert Ponnelle Les Peuillets, Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru, France 2015

Description

The 2015 Albert Ponnelle Les Peuillets Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru 2015 shows the richness and generosity of a warm vintage while maintaining the finesse expected from this Premier Cru site. Aromatically, it leans into ripe red cherry, raspberry, and hints of blackcurrant, layered with subtle earth, spice, and a gentle touch of oak. There’s a slightly deeper, more concentrated profile compared to cooler years, giving it immediate appeal.

On the palate, it is supple and well-structured, with a core of juicy red fruit supported by fine but present tannins. The texture is smooth and rounded, yet balanced by enough acidity to keep the wine lively and focused. Notes of spice, light forest floor, and a faint mineral edge add complexity as it opens.

The finish is long and polished, carrying both ripe fruit and savory undertones. Showing beautifully now with some bottle age, it still holds enough structure to continue evolving, offering a classic balance of richness and elegance typical of Savigny-lès-Beaune in a standout vintage.
