2023 Guilbert Gillet Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Planchots du Nord (Bottle no is deleted)

Domaine Guilbert-Gillet’s 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Planchots du Nord is a red Burgundy made entirely from Pinot Noir. The named vineyard bottling places the focus on a particular site within Savigny-lès-Beaune, offering an opportunity to explore the village through one of its individual lieux-dits.

Founded in 2020 by Benjamin Guilbert and René Gillet, the domaine is based in Savigny and works vineyards in both Savigny and neighbouring Chorey. Its approach places considerable importance on careful vineyard work, with a commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture. The bottle’s traditional label also identifies the wine as unfiltered, a detail consistent with its emphasis on preserving character in the finished wine.

For Burgundy enthusiasts, Les Planchots du Nord makes an appealing addition to a tasting alongside the domaine’s other Savigny parcels, highlighting how vineyard identity matters even within the same village and vintage. We suggest serving this 750 ml bottle slightly cool, around 15–16°C, in a Burgundy glass. Roast duck, herb-roasted chicken, mushroom dishes or a simple lentil and vegetable casserole would be thoughtful food pairings.
