It stands out for its freshness, aromatic precision and fine tannic structure, offering a balanced and measured profile. The winemaking involves spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in used oak barrels, so the character of the terroir remains intact and the wine is ready to drink but also capable of evolving.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from the Les Guettotes climat in Savigny-Lès-Beaune, in the north-western area of the Côte de Beaune. The continental climate with temperature differences helps preserve acidity and freshness, while the respectful approach in the vineyard enhances the authentic expression of Pinot Noir.

How it is produced

Vineyard management follows sustainable practices and a low-intervention approach, focusing on the ripeness and health of the grapes. In the cellar, fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, with a carefully balanced maceration to extract color and tannins in a controlled way. Aging continues in used oak barrels, without fining or invasive filtration, to preserve the wine’s integrity and texture.

Tasting notes

The wine appears bright ruby red with the transparency typical of Pinot Noir. On the nose, ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry emerge, with delicate spices and floral notes of violet and rose petal. On the palate, it offers lively freshness, medium body and silky tannins, with a long and clean finish and a savory sensation that invites the next sip.

Pairings

This wine pairs well with red meats and aged cheeses, thanks to its freshness which balances the succulence and fine tannins that support persistence. It is also suitable for roasted or stewed dishes, mushrooms and delicate sauces. In Burgundy cuisine, it enhances dishes such as boeuf bourguignon, roast duck or light game terrines, with an elegant and harmonious profile.

When to serve it

Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Guettotes is a versatile red wine, suitable at the table and for tasting. It is advisable to serve it slightly cool in large glasses to enhance its aromas and structure. A short aeration will highlight the fruity notes. The wine is expressive in its youth for freshness and tannin and can evolve in the cellar, gaining complexity with spices and undergrowth notes. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain its integrity and finesse.
