Savigny les Beaune - Fourneaux 2023

Domaine Chandon de Briailles, located in Savigny-lès-Beaune, is a historic estate in the Côte de Beaune. The domaine cultivates prestigious terroirs in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and on the Corton hill, with an approach focused on allowing each individual parcel to express its natural character. Its wines are distinguished by their finesse, precision and ability to reveal the nuances of Burgundy’s great terroirs.

The Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Fourneaux comes from two parcels within the same climat: 1.10 hectares classified as Village, at the bottom of the slope, and 1.31 hectares classified as Premier Cru, situated directly above. Half of the Premier Cru parcel was planted in 1956 and the other half in 2015. Sheltered from the wind and characterised by relatively dark soils, Aux Fourneaux is a particularly warm site, producing a Pinot Noir with a juicy, fresh and intensely fruit-driven character.

Appearance: Bright and luminous ruby red with delicate garnet highlights.

Nose: Expressive and inviting aromas of cherry, raspberry and delicate red berries, complemented by floral notes and subtle spices.

Palate: Supple and juicy on the attack, with a beautiful expression of fresh fruit. The palate is elegant and refreshing, supported by fine tannins and a delicate texture. Crisp red fruit leads to a harmonious, fresh and savoury finish.

Food Pairing: Ideal with roast poultry, veal fillet, duck breast, roast pork, mushrooms or mature cheeses.
