C'est un pur
Pinot Noir

From one of Savigny's most respected family estates, this is pinot noir with real character. The vines here are old — some planted over seventy years ago — rooted in clay-limestone soils on a gently sloping, east-facing slope that catches the morning light beautifully. Hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, then aged in oak barrels with only a light touch of new wood, so the fruit always stays in charge. Expect dark cherry, wild raspberry and a hint of liquorice, with fine tannins and a savoury, mineral finish. Lovely now with roast duck, but it'll reward a few years in the cellar too.

In the same corner

Auxey-Duresses

Tucked into the Côte de Beaune, this white comes from a family estate where brother and sister work side by side, tending old vines on steep, stony slopes. The chalky clay soils give the Chardonnay real tension, while careful hand-harvesting keeps the fruit pristine. Fermented and aged in oak barrels, with just enough time on its lees, it gains a creamy texture without losing its bright edge. Expect white peach, citrus zest and a hint of toasted hazelnut, finishing long and mineral. Pour it with roast chicken, creamy fish dishes or a good cheese board — you'll see why it's worth knowing.

Auxey-Duresses Rouge

# Auxey-Duresses Rouge 2021 — Domaine David Trousselle Tucked into a quiet valley behind Meursault, this little corner of the Côte de Beaune gives Pinot Noir real character. David Trousselle works his vines by hand on clay-limestone slopes, keeping yields low so each bunch ripens properly. The 2021 vintage was a tricky one, and that careful attention shows: gentle extraction, a patient ageing in oak barrels, nothing forced. You'll find red cherry, wild raspberry and a touch of woodland undergrowth, with fine tannins and a fresh, savoury finish. Lovely now with roast poultry or mushroom dishes, and it'll keep happily for another five or six years.

Beaune 1er Cru Blanches Fleurs

A delicate expression of Beaune's limestone slopes, crafted by Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott, the duo behind one of Burgundy's most exciting small houses. Their approach is gentle: careful farming, whole-bunch fermentation where the fruit allows, native yeasts and a light hand with oak. The result is Pinot Noir with real charm — red cherry, wild strawberry and a subtle floral lift, framed by silky tannins and fresh acidity. The 2023 vintage brings ripeness without heaviness, so you get drinkability now and the structure to keep for a few years. Pour it with roast poultry, mushroom dishes or simply good company.

Beaune 1er cru les Chouacheux

Tucked just below the famous Beaune slopes, this plot gives you a Pinot Noir with real charm. The domaine works its vines organically, by hand, with tiny yields and a deep respect for the clay-limestone soil that brings structure and finesse. Grapes come in whole-bunch, ferment gently with native yeasts, then rest quietly in oak barrels where only a touch of new wood is used — so the fruit stays front and centre. Expect ripe cherry, wild raspberry, a hint of spice and silky tannins. Lovely now with roast poultry or mushroom dishes, and it'll keep charming you for a good decade.

Beaune Le Clos des Renardes

A Beaune red crafted by Fanny Sabre, one of Burgundy's most natural-minded growers, working her family vines with organic care and a gentle hand in the cellar. The parcel sits on classic Côte de Beaune limestone and clay, giving Pinot Noir real lift and freshness. Whole bunches, native yeasts, minimal sulphur and a patient ageing in older oak keep everything pure and unforced. Expect crunchy red cherry, wild strawberry, a twist of pepper and that silky, chalky finish Beaune does so well. Drink it now with roast chicken or charcuterie, or give it a few years — you won't regret either.
