2022 Francois Buffet, Savigny-les-Beaune 1Cru Les Narbantons

The 2022 François Buffet Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Narbantons is a finely sculpted expression of Premier Cru Burgundy, combining aromatic lift, graceful texture, and a distinctly artisanal touch. Sourced from a historic site in Savigny-lès-Beaune, it reflects the estate’s gift for drawing out elegance and finesse from Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, translucent ruby color with the classic clarity of refined Burgundy. The nose is fragrant and high-toned, with ripe raspberries at the forefront, layered with gentle spice and subtle floral nuances. The palate is supple and graceful, with a velvety texture, precise red fruit, and a long, persistent finish. Its balance and freshness suggest excellent short- to medium-term aging potential, where it should gain added complexity and depth while retaining its lifted style.

Production
Produced from Pinot Noir in the Premier Cru climat Les Narbantons in Savigny-lès-Beaune, the wine benefits from one of the more expressive sites in the Côte de Beaune. The terroir is well suited to wines that emphasize perfume, refinement, and delicacy over sheer power. François Buffet’s approach is clearly geared toward preserving purity and site character, resulting in a wine with a light touch and polished structure.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile Burgundy for classic pairings such as roast poultry, duck breast, rabbit, mushroom dishes, and lighter game. It also works beautifully with earthy vegetable preparations and soft, creamy cheeses. Serve at around 15–16°C, and decant briefly if needed to allow the aromas to open, though older bottles should be handled more gently.
