🏰 The 2021 布根地 vintage was a challenging year for winegrowers, marked by severe April frosts and mildew pressure, resulting in historically low yields, especially for whites. However, the quality of the reds is said to be very good, with a return to a more classic, fresher, and lighter style, appealing to 布根地 purists. Domaine Prieuré Roch, founded by Henri-Frédéric Roch (co-director of DRC), is known for its ancestral minimal intervention, organic and biodynamic farming, whole-bunch fermentation, and a terroir-first philosophy. They aim to express unadulterated 布根地 terroir, producing wines of extraordinary aromatic complexity and energy.
While specific notes for the 2021 Savigny Les Beaune Les Gollardes Rouge are not detailed, Prieuré Roch's red wines are generally characterized by great aromatic intensity and complexity, vibrant acidity, and layered fruit. The 2021 reds are described as insistent, with length and a softly-spoken intensity, often red-fruited, lithe, and perfumed. Expect notes of bright red cherry, raspberry, and peony, layered with wet earth and allspice, showcasing transparency and vivacity. 【 Biodynamic, minimal intervention red 布根地 from a challenging yet classic vintage 】
