The 2023 Vignoble des Cabottes Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru Les Lavières is an elegant and expressive Pinot Noir from a large, historic parcel planted on clay over limestone slabs. It opens with ripe cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry and blackberry, accompanied by violet, dried herbs, liquorice, gentle spice and restrained vanilla notes.
On the palate, it is supple and succulent, with generous red and dark fruit framed by fine, powdery tannins and lively mineral acidity. The warmth of the 2023 vintage provides attractive fruit richness, while the limestone terroir contributes freshness, tension and a subtly savoury character. The finish is long, refined and floral, with lingering cherry, spice and mineral notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this inaugural Vignoble des Cabottes release is an excellent choice for Burgundy lovers seeking a polished, site-specific Premier Cru with both immediate charm and genuine ageing potential. Decant for one hour if enjoying young or cellar through the late 2030s. Ideal with roast duck, pork, coq au vin, mushroom dishes, game birds or soft-rind cheese.
