Ecard Maurice Savigny les Beaune Premier Cru Narbantons 2016

Ecard Maurice Savigny Beaune Rouge is 100% Pinot Noir

Deep cherry colour with garnet highlights. Bouquet of small red and black fruits (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry) and flowers (violet). The body is ample and discreetly tannic and the fruit remains present. Roundness, volume, power and balance are all here, and in just the right proportions.

Wine of elegance and good balance. A real complexity with an array of red fruits and a long finish.  This is one of our top Burgundy producers and one of his top wines. Any one that takes a chance on this bottle will be rewarded.

Ecard Savigny Beaune Blanc Premier Cru Hauts Jarrons is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.

Golden yellow with green hues. The mouth is sharp, with a nice acidity and mineral note that give complexity to the wine. A complex and delicate nose of white flowers, dried fruits and toasted bread. It will change with ageing towards pear, ginger bread and white pepper

Pair with tender meat, fried river fish, sea fish in white sauce, hot shellfish, poultry in a beautiful creamy sauce and frog legs. Hard cheeses: Comté, Beaufort, Emmental…

Ecard Savigny Beaune Premier Cru Serpentieres is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.

Elegant and concentrated wine filled with cherry and wild berry fruits. Spicy notes. Very good structure and acidity. This delicious Pinot Noir is a real treat. Excellent now, it can also reward cellaring for a few years.

Vinification involves 75 to 100% destemming, a classic fermentation, pigeage, racking of the gross lees, 15-18 months in oak (15% new from Damy)

Delicious with Burgundian local dishes such as "Beef Bourguignon" or "Oeufs en Meurette". It is also quite delicious with soft cheese

Review:

"Starting off with a dark citrus tang, like a red grapefruit, this wine feels electrically charged even as unrelenting tannins try to ground it. There are some vegetal notes and some funky mercaptans, but its silken textures and bright energy take the wine toward cherry and apricot flavors. Give this a year in the cellar to integrate, then serve it with roast sea bass in a red wine and mushroom sauce."

Ecard Maurice Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.

Intricate and characteristic bouquet of flower and fruit aromas (refreshing citrus fruit, soft pear, crisp apple). An elegantly rich, fruity wine with a hint of nuttiness.

6 months in old Oak

The vines are 35 years of age on average. The mainly clay soil is light and stony. The wine's alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats after which the wine goes through its malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.

Lightly chilled, it will accompany all fish and shellfish dishes which are not too highly spiced. It will also enhance all white meat dishes as well as making an excellent before dinner apéritif.

Ecard Maurice Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir is 100 percent Pinot Noir.

Supple, fresh red wine with distinct fruitiness and showing a lot of the characteristics of the terroir from where the vines are situated with cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry aromas. Discreet tannins in the flavors give a more feminine image.

Growing in light and stony soil made up mainly of clay. The alcoholic vinification takes place in stainless steel vats followed by malolactic fermentation and aging for 6 months in 2 – 4 year old oak barrels.

A good all round red wine for meat courses, grills, barbecues and light cheeses.
