Discover the epitome of Cote de Beaune elegance with Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons, crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Sourced from a prestigious Premier Cru vineyard on the northern slopes of the village, this wine is a benchmark for refinement, purity, and finesse. The vines are planted at an altitude between 220 and 360 metres and benefit from optimal sun exposure with south, south-east, and north-east orientations. Developed with meticulous care, hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle pressing and an extended maceration in open oak and steel vats, followed by 18 months of maturation in French oak barrels, a third of which are new. The result is a wine that beautifully reflects its unique terroir and the appellation's renowned reputation for sophistication and balance.

Precise acidity and fine, well-integrated tannins create a seamless, balanced structure. There's a clarity and tension here, reflecting both the concentration of the grapes and the nuanced touch of skilled winemaking.
Finish:
A long, refined finish leaves traces of ripe fruit, gentle oak, and a persistent mineral freshness, inviting another sip. This wine is a quintessential pairing with a rack of lamb in herb crust, where its structure and elegance elevate every mouthful. Experience Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons-a classic expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir that captures the unique spirit of its origin with grace and style.
