Maison du Chancelier, Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru, Les Lavieres 2022 (1x150cl)

Description

Maison du Chancelier’s 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru ‘Les Lavières’ is a distinguished red Burgundy crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. The ‘Les Lavières’ climat derives its name from the large, flat stones (‘laves’) in its subsoil, contributing to the vineyard’s unique terroir. Situated mid-slope with predominantly limestone soils, this terroir imparts finesse and elegance to the wine. The 50-year-old vines are traditionally managed with dense planting of 10,000 vines per hectare and Guyot simple pruning. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo meticulous sorting and are vinified without sulfur in 500-liter oak barrels, employing gentle extraction methods at moderate temperatures. The wine matures on its lees for approximately 12 months in oak barrels, enhancing its depth and character. This Premier Cru exhibits a vibrant ruby hue, with aromas of red berries, subtle earthiness, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of fruit and minerality, with fine tannins and a lingering finish. ‘Les Lavières’ exemplifies the finesse and precision characteristic of the Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru appellation.
