The 2023 Domaine des Croix Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets is a beautifully refined Premier Cru Burgundy from David Croix, one of Beaune’s leading winemakers. Sourced from a limestone-rich site at the southern entrance to Savigny-lès-Beaune, the vineyard is known for producing Pinot Noir with elegance, perfume and mineral precision. The 2023 vintage combines vibrant fruit with freshness and finesse, earning praise for its balance and energy.
The nose reveals red cherry, Morello cherry, rose petal and subtle white pepper spice, while the palate is silky and vibrant with layers of raspberry, cranberry and crushed limestone minerality. Fine tannins and bright acidity provide structure, leading to a long, elegant and beautifully balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
An elegant and perfumed Savigny Premier Cru that showcases finesse over power. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, pork loin or mushroom dishes. Enjoy from 2026 onwards or cellar comfortably through 2040+ for added complexity and savoury depth.
