This supple, perfumed red gives its most direct version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSavigny-lès-Beaune occupies a combe carved out by the Rhoin, which gives it two distinct slopes: the one on the Beaune side, with deeper and more generous soils, and the one on the Pernand-Vergelesses side, stonier and cooler. The village appellation often blends several lieux-dits on both banks, hence a wine balanced between fruit and freshness. The house style is that of a Pinot Noir for pleasure: crunchy red fruit, discreet tannins, a slender palate. It is the opposite of the frame of a Pommard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the critics say about this cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scores below cover the latest vintages of the cuvée, all vintages taken together.

The Moulin Foulot fief it grew out of dates back to the 11th century. Bought in 2012 by Olivier Halley, the estate has since expanded its vineyard: 65 hectares across around a hundred plots, farmed under certified organic agriculture, giving five Grands Crus, twenty Premiers Crus and a dozen village and regional appellations. The estate sells entirely direct, and 100 % of its production comes from its own vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savigny-Lès-Beaune Rouge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Château de Meursault\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 100 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic agriculture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 cl, magnum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light and clear ruby, pale cherry highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strawberry, raspberry, violet, a touch of fresh almond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light and crunchy, almost melted tannins, generous finish on fresh fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and storing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Savigny-Lès-Beaune at 14 to 15 °C.

Some solid vintages hold for eight or ten years, but that is not where it gives its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it a good first red Burgundy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is one of the best choices to start with. The tannins are fine, the fruit is easy to read and the style stays straightforward for a village appellation of the Côte de Beaune. A good starting point before moving on to Pommard or Volnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a magnum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magnum holds 150 cl, the equivalent of two bottles. The ratio between the volume of wine and the surface in contact with air is more favourable, which slows the evolution and often gives fresher wines at the same age. It is also the format for a big table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is free in France on orders from 300 €.
