Savigny-Lès-Beaune AOC Pinot Noir 2023 Labouré-Roi

Labouré-Roi’s Savigny-lès-Beaune, a historic maison founded in 1832 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, is an elegant and generous Pinot Noir. The grapes come from vineyards arranged in a V shape around the town of Savigny-lès-Beaune, north of the Côte de Beaune, on a variety of soils ranging from gravelly soils rich in iron to sandy and calcareous-clay soils, contributing to the expressive richness of the wine.

After manual harvesting and double selection of the grapes, vinification takes place in wooden vats for 20 days with daily punch-downs. The wine is then aged for 10 months in oak barrels, 30% of which are new, after the blending of free-run and press wines.

It presents itself with a deep ruby color. On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe red and black fruits with a hint of wildness. On the palate, it shows great concentration, a generous and velvety structure, with silky tannins and a pronounced fruity imprint.

It pairs excellently with quail ribs, rotisserie roasted chicken, white meats such as veal and pork, or traditional poached eggs Burgundy style.
