Savigny-lès-Beaune Rapet Père & Fils 2022

Well known for its countless renowned climats, the commune of Savigny-les-Beaune is home to Pinot Noir vines that thrive on deep, ferruginous soils. Each vine benefits from organic farming methods, ensuring its roots are naturally supplied with all the nutrients they require, and allowing the terroir to fully express its character. The hand-picked grapes are transported to the winery in small crates where they are meticulously sorted. Fermentation runs for a fortnight, with daily cap punch downs before the fruit is pressed. The process concludes with a long maturation in barrels, 20% of which are new.
The deep ruby-red colour reveals an intense nose of morello cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry mingling with hints of spice and black pepper. The slightly tannic mouth reveals a beautiful fullness and a structure that is both ample and delicate.
