2023 Guilbert Gillet Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Planchots du Nord

Domaine Guilbert-Gillet’s 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Planchots du Nord is a red Burgundy made entirely from Pinot Noir. This named vineyard bottling offers a focused introduction to the domaine’s parcel-by-parcel approach, placing a small corner of Savigny-lès-Beaune at the centre of the wine’s identity.

Founded in 2020 by Benjamin Guilbert and René Gillet, the estate works vineyards in Savigny and neighbouring Chorey with a commitment to organic and sustainable cultivation. The importer’s technical sheet for this vintage describes meticulous sorting, complete destemming and an extended maceration, followed by at least eighteen months in barrel without racking. Gravity bottling completes a patient approach that prioritises gentle handling. The bottle’s label also states that the wine is unfiltered.

We suggest serving this 750 ml bottle around 15°C in a broad Burgundy glass, allowing it time to open gradually. Roast poultry, duck, mushroom dishes or a modest portion of Brie would make thoughtful companions. For a comparative tasting, pour it alongside another Savigny vineyard wine from the same vintage and explore the differences at your own pace.
