Michel Gay & Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune Vergelesses 2017

Attractive cherry and berry aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this vibrant red. Bordering on racy in profile, this remains pure and adds violet and mineral accents to its repertoire. Chalky tannins line the finish. Best from 2023 through 2035. 250 cases made, 30 cases imported.

Grape
Pinot Noir
This popular red grape originated in Burgundy but has spread across the New World. Like its white Burgundian counterpart Chardonnay, Pinot Noir is early-budding, early-ripening and thin-skinned. The sites where it tends to thrive can experience tough growing conditions, which lead to more rigorous fruit selection and lower yields. This is one of the reasons that high-quality Pinot Noir often carries a higher price tag than other wines.
