Wine Information

For this wine from the Petit Aigle Négoce range, Boris Champy purchased an Ecocert-certified organic Pinot Noir from the Les Planchots plots (white limestone soils on the edge of the alluvial fan in the Savigny Valley) and Les Gollardes, a high-altitude plot with shallow, reddish-brown, stony soils in Savigny-les-Beaune. Boris Champy only destemmed 70% of the grapes, so there was a portion of whole bunches. However, due to the botrytis-affected vintage, he completely destemmed the grapes, treated the stems with sulfur, and formed a millefeuille of layers of destemmed grapes and stems to ferment the grapes. He fermented spontaneously, extracted gently, and aged the wine in tonneaux for ten to twelve months before bottling.

Colour

Fairly transparent ruby red

Nose

Boris Champy’s Petit Aigle Savigny-Les-Beaune 2021 is a spicy and herbal wine with a fresh blend of red and black berries, as well as some sour cherry, juniper, and blossoms. Its aroma is as transparent as its colour. There is hardly any extraction and little wood, but plenty of fruit, as befits the appellation.

Palate

On the palate, the Savigny-les-Beaune is also juicy and transparent, with a blend of red and dark berries and some sour cherry. The tannin is quite firm, the acidity agile. The body is lean, and the aroma, alongside the fruit, is slightly earthy and reminiscent of Cointreau.
