2022 Chatto Savigny-Lès-Beaune Aux Vergelesses 1er Cru Pinot Noir France

2022 Chatto Savigny-Lès-Beaune Aux Vergelesses 1er Cru Pinot Noir France – A beautifully sculpted and mineral-driven Burgundy, expressing the elevated, cooler character of this revered Savigny-lès-Beaune site. In Chatto’s hands, it is a wine of precision and restraint, where structure and finesse are in perfect balance.More tightly wound than Les Lavières, the nose leans toward redcurrant, sour cherry and wild strawberry, layered with rose petal, cranberry skin and a distinct stony minerality. Subtle notes of white pepper, dried herbs and crushed rock lend a lifted, almost alpine feel, while delicate oak spice sits quietly in the background.Taut and linear, the palate is driven by bright acidity and a fine-boned structure. Red fruits – cranberry, red cherry and pomegranate – are framed by firm, chalky tannins that give the wine shape and persistence. There is a pronounced mineral thread running throughout, with savoury notes of spice, tea leaf and earth adding depth. The finish is long, precise and quietly powerful, with a lingering, saline edge.Ideal with roast duck, pigeon or game birds, as well as mushroom and lentil-based dishes. Its structure and mineral drive also make it a superb match for dishes with earthy or subtly spiced elements.Single Price: $190.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $150.00
