Savigny-les-Beaune Les Serpentières, Michel Gay - 2017

Provenance: Burgundy
Appellation: Savigny-lès-Beaune
Domain: Michel Gay
Grape variety(ies): Pinot Noir
On-call time: 12 years
Alcohol degree: 13.5%
Classement: Premier Cru

Compared to the Vergelesses from the same estate, this Premier Cru Les Serpentières still offers a little more masculinity, firmness and spice, making it a perfect wine for meats and stewed dishes. It offers a lot of expression on the nose (black pepper, spices, cloves), length and personality, with tannins that are starting to develop a patina. It will be perfect with 2-3 years of bottle age.

Technique

Viticulture

The estate is located in Chorey-lès-Beaune, at the foot of the vineyards. The vines (about 12 hectares) are worked according to the nature of the soil (ridging, simple clawing, or a combination of the two), no weedkillers being used.

Oenology

The grapes are harvested by hand, in small crates. A first sorting is done on the vines, then a vibrating table before and after de-stemming. Vinification lasts about 15-20 days with a cold pre-fermentation maceration. The red wines are settled and then put into barrels with 30% new barrels in the village, 50% in the 1er cru and 70% in the grand cru. The malos are made in the spring and then the wines are racked to be bottled after 15 months, without filtration.
