A refined Burgundy Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, the 2023 Les Charnières by Capitain Gagnerot offers elegant red fruit aromas, silky tannins and a mineral-driven finish.

The 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Charnières by Capitain Gagnerot is a pure expression of village‐level Burgundy Pinot Noir. Crushed red cherry, wild strawberry and subtle earth notes mingle on the nose, while refined tannins and bright acidity lend a vibrant structure in the glass.

Hand-harvested from the Les Charnières lieu-dit on limestone‐rich soils, this wine sees gentle whole-berry fermentation and aging in French oak barrels (20% new) for 12 months. Serve at 15–17 °C with roast duck, mushroom risotto or a platter of aged cheeses.

Overview

The 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Charnières from Capitain Gagnerot embodies the finesse and minerality that the Côte de Beaune is celebrated for. Sourced entirely from a single lieu-dit, Les Charnières, this wine delivers precision, depth and a lingering finish.

Appellation & Terroir

Les Charnières lies on gently sloping vineyards near the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune. The clay-limestone soils impart a stony minerality and freshness. Vines average 35 years of age, ensuring concentrated fruit and complex aromas.

Vinification

Clusters are hand-picked at optimal ripeness, sorted by hand, and then destemmed before a gentle cold soak. Native yeast fermentation takes place in small vats, with daily pump-overs to extract color and structure. Aging occurs for 12 months in French oak barrels, 20% of which are new, to add subtle spice and texture without overwhelming the pure fruit character.

Tasting Profile

Color: Bright ruby red.

Nose: Red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, hints of violet and forest floor.

Palate: Silky tannins, vibrant acidity, flavors of raspberry compote, baking spices and flinty minerality. The finish is long, finely structured and impeccably balanced.

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

Serve at 15–17 °C. Complements dishes such as roast duck breast with cherry reduction, mushroom risotto, game birds and mild cheeses like Comté or Brie de Meaux. Decant for 30 minutes to unlock the full aromatic range.
