Domaine Philippe Girard Savigny-Lès-Beaune 1er Cru “Les Peuillets” 2017 Magnum

Domaine Philippe Girard Savigny-Lès-Beaune 1er Cru “Les Peuillets” Magnum 2017 is classic Burgundy with both finesse and depth – bottled in magnum for extra aging potential and elegance. This Premier Cru from Savigny-Lès-Beaune combines the cool minerality of the area with ripe fruit and structural precision.

The wine is made from Pinot Noir from 60-year-old vines. The old vines have deep roots, low yields and produce grapes with concentration, complexity and a distinct terroir character. The result is a wine with greater than average intensity and ageability.

After fermentation, the wine is aged for 10-11 months in French oak barrels, about a third of which are new. This proportion of new barrels adds elegant notes of spice and structure without overpowering the fruit. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy is known for its balance of freshness, ripeness and approachable structure – and in magnum, the wine develops even more harmoniously over time.
