Savigny Lès Beaune 1er cru "Les hauts Marconnets" White 2022 - Philippe Germain 75cl

Philippe Germain's Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Hauts Marconnets" Blanc 2022 is a refined white wine that expresses the excellence of Burgundy's terroirs. This wine comes from the commune of Savigny-lès-Beaune and is made from Chardonnay, the region's emblematic grape variety, which benefits from an ideal clay-limestone terroir.

Vinification begins with a carefully selected hand-harvested grape, followed by gentle pressing to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, giving the wine aromatic complexity and elegant structure. Aging in barrels, a proportion of which are new, refines the wine while adding delicate oak nuances without overpowering the fruit.

On the nose, this Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru is distinguished by aromas of white fruits, white flowers, and buttery notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-balanced, with a lovely minerality and refreshing acidity that lend it liveliness. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving an impression of finesse and complexity.

This wine should be enjoyed after a few years of aging, but it can also be appreciated in its youth for its freshness. It pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, grilled fish, or poultry in sauce. To fully appreciate all its nuances, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of around 12-14°C.
