Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Planchots du Nord 2020 - Guilbert-Gillet

This 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Planchots du Nord from Domaine Guilbert-Gillet is a Burgundy red wine made from Pinot Noir, grown on a vineyard in the Côte de Beaune. This cuvée comes from the Les Planchots du Nord plot, situated close to the estate and planted in 1976 on marl soils. Covering just 0.22 hectares, this plot produces particularly limited quantities, with the 2020 vintage yielding around 580 bottles. On the nose, this 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune reveals expressive red fruit, characterised by cherry and small berries, with floral and spicy nuances. On the palate, Guilbert-Gillet’s Pinot Noir displays a structured and deep body, underpinned by lovely freshness and fine tannins that give it good ageing potential. The winemaking and ageing processes, characteristic of this young estate, prioritise a precise expression of the fruit and terroir, with the wine aged for around 18 months in barrels. This 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Planchots du Nord will pair perfectly with roast poultry, veal with mushrooms, a cut of beef or game birds.
