Domaine Jean-Jacques GirardSavigny-lès-Beaune 2023

About this wine

This Savigny-lès-Beaune from Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard is a textbook example of what makes Burgundy's Côte de Beaune so special. It's a wine that shows the elegant side of Pinot Noir, with enough character to stand out but without any unnecessary fuss.

On the nose, you'll find red berries like strawberry and raspberry, with subtle earthy notes and a hint of spice. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with fine tannins that give structure without being aggressive. There's a lovely freshness that keeps things lively, and the finish lingers just long enough to make you want another sip.

Serve this at 16-17°C with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or a mushroom risotto. It's also fantastic with Swiss classics like veal in cream sauce. This is the kind of wine that makes weeknight dinners feel a bit more special.
