Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru Les Vergelesses, Cuvée Forneret 2021

Histoire de la Cuvée 

Bien que le don provienne de sa mère, la Cuvée évoque davantage Xavier Forneret, poète et écrivain de renom du XIXe siècle issu d'une famille de notables installée à Beaune depuis le XVIe siècle. La Cuvée a pour origine les vignes des pentes du nord de Savigny : Les Vergelesses sont exposées Sud et Sud-Est.

Story of the Cuvée 

Although the donation came from his mother, this Cuvée evokes the memory of Xavier Forneret, a famous 19th century writer and poet who came from a distinguished family whose Beaune origins date back to the 16th century. The Cuvée comes from slopes to the north of Savigny: Les Vergelesses facing south and south-east.

Les Vergelesses

Basses Vergelesses

Tasting notes by Jasper Morris MW 

A fine bright crimson, a little toast mixed in with complex red berry fruits. The acidity is a little more pronounced here, medium bodied plus, quite tightly knit in style. A Savigny which will need a few years to declare itself.
