IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Savigny les Beaune 1er Cru ‘Les Vergelesses’ sits, you guessed it, in the northeast part of Savigny where the valley butts up to the Pernand-Vergelesses premier cru  vineyard of the same name.  It’s a bit confusing, especially when you add in another premier cru called ‘Ile des Vergelesses which, you guessed it again, sits in the middle of the other two.  Steep, south-facing limestone soil with a very chalky make up yields wine of complex minerality and freshness.  25% new oak lets the fruit and flowers sing.

The 2015 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Vergelesses Blanc has a pretty bouquet with lime flower and white peach scents, moderate definition but with good vigor. The palate is well balanced with lime and green apple on the entry, a keen line of acidity and the 20% new oak lending a little more weight on the finish. Enjoy this over the next 4-6 years
