Les Serpentières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 1997
Domaine Maurice Ecard er et familievinhus med rødder tilbage til begyndelsen af 1900-tallet, beliggende i Savigny-lès-Beaune i Bourgogne. Maurice Ecard blev gennem efterkrigstiden en respekteret stemme i Côte de Beaune, og hans arbejde var med til at give appellationen synlighed uden for regionen. I 2004 valgte han at gå på pension, hvorefter domænet blev opdelt mellem hans to sønner. Denne flaske fra 1997 er udgivet under navnet Maurice Ecard et Fils og fungerer i dag som et stykke af familiens vinhistorie fra perioden før opdelingen. Vinen er aftappet på selve ejendommen.
Vinen kommer fra vinmarken Les Serpentières, som er en af de 22 Premier Cru-marker i Savigny-lès-Beaune. Appellationen dækker cirka 350 hektar og er kendt for sin karakteristiske topografi, hvor en sidedal giver to forskellige hovedeksponeringer. Jordbunden består af ler og kalk over et kalkstensgrundfjeld af varierende dybde. Klimaet i området er kontinentalt med varme somre og kolde vintre. Årgang 1997 i området har opnået en score på 86 point og beskrives som charmerende, men hurtigt udviklet.
Savigny-lès-Beaune er en af de største kommunale appellationer i Côte de Beaune, og produktionen her er overvejende baseret på Pinot Noir. Området er historisk anerkendt som en kilde til klassiske Bourgogne-vine, der traditionelt fremstår mere tilgængelige end vinene fra nærliggende kommuner som Pommard eller Aloxe-Corton. Denne Grand Vin bærer klassifikationen 1er Cru Appellation Contrôlée.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Burgundy
Burgundy in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the limestone soil yields some of the world's most sought-after and elegant wines.
Toen deze wijn werd gemaakt, zag de wereld er heel anders uit. Hier zijn enkele verhalen die zich ontvouwden toen deze fles rustig in de kelder rijpte.
