2023 Guilbert Gillet Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Petits Liards Vieilles Vignes

Domaine Guilbert-Gillet’s 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Petits Liards Vieilles Vignes is a Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The cuvée is associated with a clay-soil parcel planted in 1936, giving the wine an old-vine identity within the domaine’s range of individually named Savigny vineyards.

Benjamin Guilbert began producing wines under the domaine’s name with the 2020 vintage, following experience at several established French estates. His work focuses on attentive farming and careful handling in the cellar. The Japanese importer’s profile describes Aux Petits Liards through ripe fruit aromas, a smooth entry and an appealing balance of fruit, acidity and tannin. It is an appealing bottle for drinkers exploring the individual vineyards of Savigny, especially as part of a tasting with another wine from the village.

We suggest serving this 750 ml bottle slightly cool, around 15–16°C, in a generous Burgundy glass. Roast duck, chicken with mushrooms or a gently cooked veal dish would make suitable pairings. Allow the wine to unfold gradually after opening and follow its development through the meal.
