Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Vergelesses Dubreuil-Fontaine (Domaine) 2021

The wine

Reputed for its beautiful vineyards, Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine here proposes a Savigny-lès-Beaune premier cru. The Pinot noir used to make it is around 35 years old and benefits from attentive growing across 2 hectares of vineyard.
The domain is committed to harvesting by hand and total destemming of the bunches before carrying out a traditional vinification in temperature-controlled vats. The juice is stirred twice a day to extract flavour, colour, and texture. The wine is then matured for 15 months in oak casks, up to 15% of which are new wood.
We recommend savouring this cuvée in its youth to appreciate the delicacy of its fruit. Served at an ambient temperature of around 16°C, it will reveal a cherry red hue and a light aromatic bouquet of red fruit, black fruit, and violet. Velvety and silky, it is characterised by supple tannins that call for pairings with poultry dishes or a savoury mushroom tart, for example.
