Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Père et Fils - "Les Vergelesses" Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru 2022

Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Père et Fils — one of our flagship Burgundy producers — was established in 1879; five generations later, it is managed by Christine Gruère-Dubreuil, and her husband, Nicolas Gruère, along with their daughter, Clementine, who has officially joined her mother in the vineyards and cellar. Superb winemaking tradition and an intense love of their land has enabled the estate to rise to epic status, using the family motto, “Pleasure and passion carry on…” as a guideline for success. This family has spent nearly a century and a half chasing perfection, and that fact is beautifully evident in each new vintage from this unforgettable estate.

The Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Père et Fils Les Vergelesses Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru is made from Pinot Noir grapes from 35 year-old vines that are 100% destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks, then aged for 12-15 months in oak barrel (15% new). The wine pours a deep ruby in color with enticing aromas of red and black fruits intermingled with hints of rose petals and light earth. On the palate, this Premier Cru offers waves of pomegranate, raspberry and black cherry flavors swaddled in soft, velvety tannins that provide a silky mouthfeel while still displaying plenty of flesh and elegance. The finish is luxurious and lingering, beckoning back to the glass for another sip. This Pinot is perfect for roasted chicken, five-spiced duck breast or veal scallopini.
