Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Dominode 2022

Savigny-Dominode 1er Cru is crafted from Pinot Noir, grown on clay-limestone soil. Located on a hillside in the commune of Savigny-lès-Beaune, this vineyard, facing northeast, derives its name from the Latin Dominus, in homage to its former owner. This terroir imparts notable finesse and complexity, characteristic of the great wines of Burgundy.

Savigny-Dominode 1er Cru stands out with its ruby color. On the nose, fragrances of violet blend with aromas of jammy red fruits like strawberry and cherry, accompanied by peppery notes and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it offers a beautiful density and precise texture, with a fruit-forward expression supported by spices. The finish is long and indulgent, promising a lovely evolution in the cellar.

The vintage experienced a contrasting climatic cycle, with periods of warmth and coolness. A lack of rainfall was offset by summer storms, preserving the vines' water balance. The harvest yielded generous, well-balanced red wines that reveal the richness of the terroir. The growing conditions favored an intense and harmonious fruit expression.

This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted or sauced meats, game, and cheeses.
