Benjamin Leroux Savigny-ls-Beaune 1er Cru Les Hauts Jarrons 2021

Natural cork. The vines here are owned by one of Lerouxs close friends and are sited in the heart of the Premier Cru, on the east-facing, Beaune side of Savigny. This tends to be the source of the most elegant Savigny winesso, perfect for powerful years. Like most of the terrain in the Cte dOr, the soils here are clay/limestone, but the clay here is light and sandy. Therefore, although theres more flesh here than in the village cuve, there is also greater finesse. The 2020 fermented with only a pinch of whole bunch. Its an excellent-value Premier Cru that always drinks well from releasebut this will certainly benefit from at least short-term aging (three to seven years).
