2023 Marchand & Burch Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Vergelesses Premier Cru
$160.00
The 2023 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Vergelesses Premier Cru comes from an old-vine plot owned by Pascal within this vineyard which is in the shadow of the great hill of Corton. Les Vergelesses is planted to both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Pascal’s vines benefit from an ideal southern aspect on the undulating slope, and his careful biodynamic farming to balance the soil and ensure optimum vine health.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
The wine opens with delicate aromas of peach blossom and honeysuckle, layered with spiced apple and hints of crème caramel. Mineral undertones of crushed shells, flint and petrichor add lift and definition. The palate is poised and generous, bringing together flavours of white grapefruit and lemon butter. Medium-tensile acidity provides drive and structure, supported by a gentle lick of oak and finishing with a supple, saline glide. Classy and mineral-driven, this is a wine of clarity and depth, drinking beautifully now while offering the promise of graceful ageing.
Food Match
Serve with risotto verde or an elegant antipasto of vitello tonnato with fried capers and crusty bread.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now and over the next 10 years.
