Savigny Dessus de Montchenevoy

Maison Chanterêves
# Savigny-lès-Beaune Red Burgundy 2023 Tommy and Guillaume at this boutique Burgundy house have a real knack for finding plots that punch above their weight, and this hillside parcel above Savigny-lès-Beaune is a lovely example. Planted on stony, well-drained limestone soils, the Pinot Noir here ripens slowly and keeps its freshness. Whole bunches go into the fermentation, giving you a wine with crunchy red cherry, wild strawberry and a gentle peppery lift. Ageing in seasoned oak means the fruit stays front and centre, with silky tannins and a bright finish. Pour it with roast chicken, charcuterie or a mushroom risotto — it won't disappoint.
