The 2020 Prieuré Roch Savigny-lès-Beaune Dessus Les Gollardes is a distinctive red wine from a producer renowned for its biodynamic, minimal sulphur, and natural winemaking approach. This particular vineyard, Dessus Les Gollardes, was acquired by the Domaine in 2018 and is located north of the Beaune side of the Savigny appellation, characterized by stony soil and an elevated position. Planted with Pinot Noir, this plot is noted for producing wines with a "very 'Côtes de Nuits' spirit," suggesting a depth and intensity often associated with that esteemed sub-region. The 2020 vintage is currently in its maturity phase and is projected to reach its peak between 2027 and 2033. 【A powerful Savigny-lès-Beaune Pinot Noir from a biodynamic producer, exhibiting a "Côtes de Nuits spirit" with complex earthy and dark fruit notes, and significant aging potential.】 Tasting notes reveal a wine with a deep purple color and an unclear appearance, offering a youthful nose of brambles, dark fruits, purple boysenberries, dark spices, fermented vegetables, and dark undergrowth. On the palate, it is dry with high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), medium+ tannins, and a full body, showcasing rich purple fruits, spice, and toasty oak.

It is also described as muscular and very balanced, without fragility. 🍴 This robust red wine is an excellent match for veal and game, such as deer and roe deer.
