Savigny Lès Beaune 1er Cru Aux Fournaux
The Pernand-Vergelesses "Les Combottes" catches the eye with a beautiful golden colour, it is fresh, lively and elegant. It has a fine nose of fresh fruit, spicy notes and traces of honey and gunflint when it matures. Between 3 and 5 years, it is at its best, serve it at 12°C.
Located in the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses. The vines were planted in the early 2000s, on new land with good south-west exposure but difficult to work because of a steep slope.
The name "Combottes" is a diminutive of combe, which alludes to the hilly character of this parcel.
The grapes are harvested in small crates to keep them intact, the pressing is done with a pneumatic press that is more respectful of the grapes. The whole grapes are placed in the press and the pressing lasts two hours. After 24 hours of settling at low temperatures, the grape juice is placed in barrels for fermentation, the proportion of new barrels is 30%. The wine is aged on its lees with stirring until July, and bottled after 12 months.
Located on the climate "Les plantes des champs et combottes", the hillside is exposed to the south-west in the extension of the village, the land is white, marly and fairly light. The rows are short with ditches to contain erosion.

The Estate Rapet Père et Fils
"Vincent Rapet a succédé à son père pour gérer les 20 hectares de vignoble, principalement situés autour de la colline de Corton. Les murs historiques du chai accueillent depuis quelques années une cuverie moderniste qui, associée à une série d'investissements dans le renouvellement du matériel de culture, offrent désormais à Vincent un outil de production qui permet de bousculer les meilleurs de la Bourgogne.
Depuis 2015 les rouges nous épatent. Ils ont rejoint des blancs de réputation ancienne, notamment le Corton-Charlemagne et le Pernand Premier Cru blanc sous frétille." 4*/5 Bettane+Desseauve
