2023 Guilbert Gillet Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru, Les Peuillets (Little drop at the edge of wine label)

The 2023 Guilbert Gillet Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru “Les Peuillets” is a refined Burgundy that typically shows a very pretty, expressive Pinot Noir profile with red cherry, wild strawberry, and ripe raspberry at the core, along with floral notes, a touch of spice, and a subtle earthy, savory edge. On the palate, it usually feels medium-bodied and precise rather than broad or heavy, with bright acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively, while the tannins remain fine and polished. There is often a silky texture that makes the wine approachable, but also enough structure to give it shape and a graceful finish. The overall impression is one of balance: fruit, freshness, and minerality working together in a clean, elegant style. It is the kind of wine that can be attractive young for its perfume and energy, yet still has the quiet firmness to develop more complexity with time in bottle.
