Savigny 1er Cru Aux Serpentières

Domaine Fanny Sabre
From her cellar in Beaune, Fanny Sabre crafts wines with a light touch: organic farming, whole-bunch instinct and gentle extraction, letting the fruit speak for itself. This Savigny-lès-Beaune premier cru comes from a stony, pebble-strewn slope that gives the wine its nervy backbone and savoury, peppery lift. You'll find crunchy red cherry and wild raspberry, a hint of violet, and silky tannins that stay fresh right to the finish. Aged in seasoned oak, so nothing masks the terroir. Drink it now with roast poultry or charcuterie, or tuck a few bottles away for five to eight years of pleasure.
