Domaine des Croix Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets 2023 750ml

Domaine des Croix Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets 2023 is an elegant red Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grapes in the renowned Côte de Beaune region of France. Produced by Domaine des Croix, this Premier Cru wine showcases the finesse, aromatic complexity and distinctive mineral character associated with the Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation.
The Les Peuillets vineyard features clay-limestone soils with a significant sandy and stony component, contributing to the wine's refined texture and expressive fruit character. The 2023 vintage combines fresh red and dark berry flavours with floral aromas, subtle spice and a pronounced mineral dimension.
The winemaking approach includes partial whole-cluster fermentation, followed by extended maturation on the lees to develop texture, complexity and balance. The result is a polished Burgundy with vibrant acidity, fine tannins and a lingering, savoury finish.
Versatile at the dining table, this wine pairs beautifully with poultry, duck, veal, game birds and mushroom-based dishes. It is an excellent choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a refined Premier Cru with both immediate charm and potential for bottle development.
