Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode is an exceptional expression of Pinot Noir from the renowned Cote de Beaune region in Burgundy. Crafted by the esteemed Louis Jadot, this Premier Cru hails from the prized 'La Dominode' vineyard, celebrated for its sandy, slightly pebbly soils and optimal north-east exposure. The vineyard's unique terroir, perched on Mont Battois at altitudes of 220 to 360 metres, brings remarkable elegance and complexity to the wines. Meticulously vinified with traditional methods, the wine undergoes extended fermentation and careful maturation in French oak casks, ensuring both structure and finesse. A brilliant choice for collectors and connoisseurs, it shines alongside rack of lamb with a herb crust or your favourite fine cuisine.

Finish:
La Dominode finishes long and graceful, with the refined fruit and underlying mineral notes lingering on the palate. Its structure and balance promise excellent ageing potential, rewarding patient cellaring with even greater complexity over time.
