Pierre Vincent : Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er cru "Les Vergelesses" 2023

The finesse and balance of a Burgundy 1er Cru red wine

The Producer
Founded in 2009 under the name Domaine des Terres de Velle, the estate was acquired by the Solexia Group in July 2023 and renamed Domaine Pierre Vincent in 2024. Owned by Hervé Kratiroff and Eric Versini, it is managed by Pierre Vincent, the former General Manager of Domaine Leflaive. Located in Auxey-Duresses in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, the estate cultivates sixteen prestigious appellations across seven hectares, including Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru and several Premiers Crus. The vines, averaging 58 years of age, are gradually being converted to biodynamic farming and produce confidential micro-cuvées of fewer than 900 bottles.

The Vineyard
This Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Vergelesses" comes from a plot of just under 0.5 hectares, planted between 1989 and 1999 and situated on limestone soils.

Winemaking and Ageing
Long, gentle pressing followed by overnight settling. Fermentation takes place partially in stainless steel tanks before the wine is transferred to barrels (15% new oak) for malolactic fermentation. Ageing lasts 12 months, complemented by a 6-month maturation in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Grape Variety
This Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Vergelesses" 2023 is a 100% Pinot Noir.
