Domaine Jean-Jacques GirardSavigny-les-Beaune 2020

About this wine

This Savigny-lès-Beaune from Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard is a beautiful expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir that won't break the bank. It's the kind of bottle that makes you look like a wine genius at dinner without trying too hard.

On the nose, you'll find red cherries and wild strawberries with a subtle earthy undertone that whispers "Burgundy" without shouting it. The palate is elegant and medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a bright acidity that keeps things fresh. There's a lovely mineral quality that comes from the limestone-rich soils of Savigny, finishing with hints of spice and forest floor.

This beauty pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken, duck breast, or a classic boeuf bourguignon if you're feeling fancy. Serve it at 16-17°C to let all those delicate flavors shine through. If you're patient enough, decant it for about 30 minutes before serving to open it up even more.
