Bouchard Savigny-Les-Beaune 2017 (75cl)

A village-level Burgundy red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir, produced by Bouchard Père & Fils, one of the oldest domaines in Beaune, founded in 1731. The house farms 3.15 hectares in Savigny-les-Beaune, an appellation in the northern Côte de Beaune, and became the first producer in the Côte d'Or to achieve HVE3 certification in 2015. The nose opens with fresh cherries, spice tones and delicate floral notes, with subtle earthiness beneath. The palate is full-flavoured yet lively with vibrant red fruits, cherry and redcurrant dominating, medium tannins providing structure and medium-high acidity keeping it taut and lifted. The finish is moderate, with red-fruit flavours lingering alongside fine tannic grip and a clean, slightly mineral close.
