2022 Marchand & Burch Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Vergelesses Premier Cru
$147.00
The 2022 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
Pale lemon with green hues. Delicate peach blossom and honeysuckle combine, showcasing aromas reminiscent of cottage blooms in spring. Honeyed lemon wedge, spiced apple and crème caramel waft from the glass, chased by nuances of sweet oak. Further citrus notes of ruby red grapefruit, mandarins and Meyer lemon yield to mineral undertones of crushed shells, flint and petrichor.
Characters of lemon pulp, white grapefruit and lemon butter fuse on the palate with green fruited elements such as honeydew melon, feijoa and pear. Medium-tensile acidity is bolstered by a heft of fruit and intensity that leads to an intrinsic lick of oak and finishes with a salty and supple glide. Vigorous with a classy, mineral drive this wine drinks beautifully now but will only continue to delight over the next 10 years.
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.
