Domaine Camus Bruchon & Fils Savigny-les-Beaune Narbantons 2023

From the Importer: Savigny-les-Beaune, home to the historic domaine Camus-Bruchon, is a happy hunting ground for red Burgundy lovers who appreciate value as well as quality in their Pinots.

The Camus family is gifted in old vines, many of which were planted just before and after World War I by Reine Joly, current owner Guillaume’s great grandmother.

In addition to the charming and spicy Bourgogne rouge and villages-level wines, Camus-Bruchon’s portfolio of Premier Crus encompasses some of the very greatest vineyards in the village including a beautiful “Aux Gravains” from fifty year-old vines, an elegant and plummy “Les Lavières”, and this old vine bottling of “Narbantons”, which is the deepest and most ageworthy of these great Savignys.

Partial whole cluster fermentation followed by cold maceration and fermentation for 15 to 20 days. Aged for 12 to 18 months in 30% new French oak barrels.

This vineyard consists of deep clay-limestone which results in a dense and structured wine. Partial whole cluster is a necessity during fermentation to assure a bright and high toned finish, but make no mistake, this is a Pinot Noir that really packs a punch while remaining surprisingly fresh and clean on the finish
