Doussot-rollet Savigny-ls-beaune 1er Cru Les Vergelesses Blanc 2018


Doussot rollet
Domaine Dussot-Rollet is a tiny, 4.75-hectare Burgundy estate whose wines are being made by Thomas Troussard, a young and talented winemaker, and son-in-law of the owner. The estate is working towards HVE certification (the highest French environmental certification), with no weedkillers used and treatments against disease only when strictly necessary. The vines are old; ranging from 40-95 years. A maximum of 15% new French oak is used across the range, and the wines released 2 years after harvest. The vineyards cover a range of sites in the Cte de Beaune, which, in skilled hands such as these, can offer better value than the more famous villages. The wines are precisely made, forward and succulent, drinking well in youth but with the capacity to age for up to a decade from release. The pricing remains relatively accessible in the context of Burgundy. The Savigny-ls-Beaune 1er Cru Les Vergelesses is Chardonnay from one of the best Savigny 1er Crus, right opposite Corton-Charlemagne. 0.75 ha of 45-year-old vines. Enticing nose of white peach, nougat candied lemon, ginger, cashew lovely balance with a fresh thread of acidity, attractive use of new oak. Compact, with a creamy mid palate, balanced acidity even better in a couple of years.
