Decelle & Fils - Savigny-lès-Beaune rouge 2023
91/100
James Suckling
"A distinguished and elegant Pinot Noir that beautifully expresses the terroir from which it comes!"
A Savigny-les-Beaunes that perfectly showcases its terroir. Its elegant palate of crushed strawberries and freshly picked raspberries blends with hints of undergrowth and inviting sweet spices. Its silky, beautifully velvety palate offers firm but integrated tannins with racy aromatics, lingering into a subtly mineral and refreshing finish.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
This small estate is based on 8 hectares of vineyards, scattered between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune. Founded in 2009 by Olivier Decelle and Pierre-Jean Villa, it has been managed since its inception by Jean Lupatelli, a talented man who oversees the vineyard and winemaking with great insight. The estate completes its range with a few additional purchases covering the equivalent of two hectares, in historic appellations that have been monitored since the brand was created, and relying on vines harvested by the in-house teams. The 2018 reds are tender, charming, fruity and floral, clearly respecting their origins.

About the estate:
Founded in 2009 by two partners from outside Burgundy - Pierre-Jean Villa (northern Rhône Valley) and Olivier Decelle (Mas Amiel in Roussillon, Jean Faure, Haut-Ballet, Haut-Maurac in Bordeaux) supported by their oenologist Jean Lupatelli - this Nuit-Saint-Georges-based company (wine merchant and estate) has now established a solid position in Burgundy.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Founded in 2009 by two leading figures in the wine world, Olivier Decelle (Mas Amiel in Roussillon and Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion) and Pierre-Jean Villa, a winemaker in the northern Rhône Valley, this estate stopped buying grapes in 2017. Previously named Decelle-Villa, it became Decelle et Fils in 2020. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, it relies on its own organically grown vineyards on the slopes of Beaune and Nuits. The skilled technician Jean Lupatelli produced wines of excellent quality here, with 20 to 50% whole harvest in the reds, but he left the estate in the spring of 2021.
