Savigny-Lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons 2020 6x75cl

A fine vineyard on the northern slopes that consistently makes one of the most elegant wines of the village with pure, earthy and plum Pinot Noir fruit, balanced structure and a full finish.

Vineyards

The vineyard is orientated south, south-east and north-east. Its altitude is between 220 and 360m. Les Narbantons is located to the south of the village, right next to the Beaune appellation.

Vintage

A vintage of excellent quality, which started early thanks to a warm spring and early summer, with some very hot whether in July and August. Pinot Noir in particular had small berries, but beautifully concentrated and Chardonnay managed to hold its acidity.

Winemaking

Hand harvested, the grapes are sorted and lightly pressed. Maceration takes place in open oak and steel vats for three to four weeks. The wines are punched down twice a day during fermentation. Maturation lasts 18 months in oak, a third of which is new.
