Savigny-Lès-Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Serpentières' 2020

The Savigny-Lès-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Serpentières Domaine Maurice Ecard is a wine that has its roots in the north of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyard, located in one of the oldest properties at the entrance to the village of Savigny, is located on the slopes on the right, in an area remarkably favourable to the cultivation of Pinot Noir, thanks to a soil composed of limestone mixed with clay.

Traditional vinification takes place in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, with a cold and controlled maceration before fermentation. This process is followed by a long fermentation during which pumping over and pumping over are carried out to obtain a wine with a superior structure and complexity. Refining takes place in oak barrels for 15 months, using 40% new oak and 60% barrels that are between 1 and 3 years old, mainly from the Vosges, which enriches the wine with woody notes.
