Francois Gay et Fils Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Serpentieres," 2019

France, ( Chorey-lès-Beaune AOC)

100% Pinot Noir

13%

 

The finest examples of Savigny-les-Beaune invariably come from the northern bank in the direction of Pernand-Vergelesses. The heavy soils and good Southerly exposure guarantee a great finesse to the wine "Les Serpentières". Before being called "The Serpentières" the climate was called "The Serpentine", which refer to a specific kind of snake in Burgundy.

 

TASTING NOTES:  The wine is highly fruity with a powerful scent of fresh strawberries and other red fruits. Vigorous and quite supple but a wine that lasts well.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Salisbury steak, game birds, mature cheeses.
