Domaine du Prieure Savigny-les-Beaune Les Hauts-Jarrons Premier Cru 2017

First let’s look at what you’re getting into…at not even 3/4 of an acre, this 1er vineyard is around 650 feet in elevation woking over Savigny-les-Beaune. With a total annual production of less than 175 cases, these 68 year old Pinot Noir vines are the cats meow!  Notes of mint and forest floor followed by notes of dark red fruit.  Medium to full-bodied with some amazing structure, this is a wine that will last at least 10 years in the bottle, maybe more if you’re luck and don’t drink it.  The finish is elegant and graceful like a high-end escort.  Don’t be fooled by the price or you’ll be the fool for passing this up.
