Savigny les Beaune 1er Cru Aux Clous
Grape variety 100 % Pinot Noir
Servicing temperature 16-18°
Ageing 8-10 ans
Plot
Like an unfolding map, the landscape widens between the Montagne de Corton and Beaune. The heights of the Côte de Beaune stand back a little, on either side of a small river, the Rhoin. This appellation comprises 22 Climats classified as Premier Cru.
Vinification / Aging
The grapes are destemmed and vinified in vats for around 4 weeks, revealing the full richness of their aromas. After devatting, the wines are placed in oak barrels and matured for 15 months.
Tasting
Our Savigny 1er Cru Aux Cloux has a soft ruby colour and a complex nose of smoke, morello cherry, raspberry and hints of spice. On the palate, it has a supple, round attack, with a lovely peppery structure and an elegant, lingering finish. The oak ageing adds fine tannins and depth that blend perfectly with the richness of the fruit. A refined wine, already expressive but promising great ageing potential.
Food and wine pairing
This Savigny 1er Cru Aux Cloux goes perfectly with a filet mignon of pork with herbs, or roast veal with a mushroom sauce, highlighting its fruity and spicy aromas while underlining its fine tannic structure.
