The 2023 Chanterêves Savigny-lès-Beaune Dessus de Montchenevoy is an elegant Pinot Noir from a small, high-altitude vineyard above the renowned Premier Cru Aux Guettes in Savigny-lès-Beaune. Surrounded by forest and rooted in limestone-rich soils, the site enjoys a cool microclimate that promotes slow ripening and remarkable freshness. The nose is vibrant with aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry, complemented by rose petals, subtle spice and earthy mineral notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, fine silky tannins and a lively, energetic texture. Layers of fresh red berries, floral notes and gentle savoury spice lead to a long, mineral-driven finish. Minimal-intervention winemaking and ageing in seasoned oak preserve the purity and elegance that have become the hallmark of Chanterêves.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a wonderful Burgundy for those who appreciate vibrant, terroir-driven Pinot Noir with finesse rather than power. Pair with roast duck, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, grilled quail or soft-rind cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar for the next 8–12 years as its complexity continues to evolve.
