Hautes Cotes de Beaune Domaine du Prieure - 2008Burgundy Red Wine 75 cl Bottle
From the village of Savigny in the Côte de Beaune, Jean Michel Maurice takes pride in preserving the subtle influence of the terroir and pure essence of Pinot from the surrounding vignoble. This Pinot Noir is from the higher slopes above Savigny, extols the virtues of the Pinot Noir grape, with pure fruit, captivating perfume of summer fruits and soft silky balance.
Found in the heart of the Cote de Beaune, the picturesque village of Savigny-les-Beaune has for a long time earned its good name. It was here that the monks of Citeaux, the founders of the Burgundian vineyard system, became substantial property owners. In order to administer their vineyards they established a priory in the 16th century, hence the name. Today the domaine is owned by Jean-Michel Maurice, the mayor of Savigny, along with his son Stephen, who uses his international experience as winemaker.
