Louis Jadot Savigny-Lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons 2013.
A fine vineyard on the northern slopes that consistently makes one of the most elegant wines of the village with pure, earthy and plum Pinot Noir fruit, balanced structure and a full finish.
VINEYARDS: The vineyard is orientated south, south-east and north-east. Its altitude is between 220 and 360m. Les Narbantons is located to the south of the village, right next to the Beaune appellation.
VINTAGE: After the challenges thrown at them in 2012, Bourgogne winemakers were hoping for a peaceful 2013 but capricious Mother Nature had other ideas. After a long winter, a gloomy spring and a fine, providential summer, for the most part, the pickers had to wait until the start of October to take up their secateurs. The consequences of the weather's whims - such as shatter and millerandage, hail damage, concentration and disease - all had an impact on the quantities harvested. Across the region, no winegrowing area was spared however experience has made all the difference and 2013 is nevertheless considered a very successful vintage.
WINEMAKING: Hand harvested, the grapes are sorted and lightly pressed. Maceration takes place in open oak and steel vats for three to four weeks. The wines are punched down twice a day during fermentation. Maturation lasts 18 months in oak, a third of which is new.
- Enjoy with:
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Casseroles/Stews
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
