Capitain Gagnerot Savigny-les-Beaune premier cru 2021

100% Pinot Noir

Alcoholic fermentation in open vats, for about 15 days with 2 punch-down a day at the beginning.  Maturation in oak barrels (10% new barrels) for 13 months.  

On the nose there is a subtle background note of menthol that leads to aromas of poached plum, red and dark raspberry and soft earth notes that manage to retain good freshness.  The plush, round and seductively textured middle weight flavors possess good power and focus while offering good length on the mildly rustic finale.  13.5% ABV
