Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Les Vergelesses Sans Soufre

100% Chardonnay. 16 months in French oak barrique, 25% new. No added sulphites. Very small production.

Les Vergelesses is one of the most prized premier cru vineyards in Savigny les Beaune, sitting in the northeast of the appellation where the valley meets the Pernand Vergelesses hillside. The vineyard sits on steep, south-facing slopes of chalky limestone soils, which give the wine its signature tension, mineral precision and fine acidity. Biodynamically farmed and hand harvested, with no added sulphites at any stage, making this one of the purest expressions of white Burgundy you will find at this level.

2022 was a ripe and generous vintage in Burgundy, yet the altitude and chalk of Les Vergelesses preserved a beautiful freshness and energy in the wine.

Bright golden with a fragrant and expressive nose of white flowers, citrus peel, ripe pear and a light nutty note. On the palate the wine is energetic and precise, with lively acidity, a subtly creamy texture from lees ageing and layers of stone fruit, lemon curd and a delicate spice. The finish is clean, mineral and long, with a salty nuance that is the signature of this exceptional terroir. An extremely noble natural white.

A killer with crab, prawns and lobster. Also outstanding with sea bass, scallops, creamy chicken dishes or mild cheeses.
