Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Rouge Les Vergelesses 2022 Francoise Andre

Delightfully aromatic with hints of blood orange and green pepper. Supple red fruit are balance with good acidity, elegant tannins and a firm mineral backbone. 100% Pinot Noir ORGANIC 2022 - 14.5% abv Domaine Francoise Andre: We first met Lauriane Andre at what is called an 'off' tasting in Beaujolais in 2017. Her wines, quite simply, stood out as they are of quite exceptional definition and reflection of their terroir. The harvest for the 1er Cru Savigny is done manually, with a meticulous selection of the clusters. Destemming is extensive, only 10 to 15 % of the stems can be kept from the well-ripened cuvees to add a note of aromatic freshness. The pre-fermentation maceration period lasts around 4 days, during which daily crushing and pumping is done. The objective of this controlled, supervised maceration is to encourage the optimal extraction of elements from the skin and to limit, as much as possible, the addition of unwanted elements from the seeds. Racking takes place 15 days following the grape harvest. The must is then aged in 228 litre barrels. 30% of the barrel is renewed annually. Contains Sulphites
