Domaine Kuheiji Savigny-les-Beaune 2021

Domaine Kuheiji Savigny-lès-Beaune 2021 is a refined red Burgundy from Japanese-French winemaker Kuheiji Kuno, who, with his background in sake production, has made a name for himself in Burgundy for his uncompromising approach and precision. Savigny-lès-Beaune is known for elegant and delicate Pinot Noir wines, and this 2021 vintage is characterized by the cool and classic style that the vineyards here often produce.

In the glass, the wine has a bright, ruby ​​red color. The aroma is seductive and complex with layers of red berries such as cherries, raspberries and currants, complemented by floral notes of violets and rose petals as well as fine nuances of forest floor and discreet spice. With oxygenation, the aromas unfold further with subtle hints of herbs and minerality.

The taste is elegant, precise and straight with a crisp acidity that gives freshness and energy. The fruit is delicate and clean, the tannins are fine and silky, and the whole is carried by a light mineral tone that gives the wine balance and length. The aftertaste is persistent, fresh and elegant, which makes the wine both accessible now and suitable for shorter aging.

Domaine Kuheiji Savigny-lès-Beaune 2021 is a wine that goes perfectly with classic French dishes such as coq au vin, duck breast or veal, but it also goes well with poultry, charcuterie or mushroom dishes. It is a beautiful example of how a Japanese winemaker can interpret Burgundy with great respect for tradition and terroir.
