Albert Morot Sauvigny 1er Cru La Batalliere Blanc 2020 (JM 89)

Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 89 points.
A plot of 0.60ha replanted with chardonnay in 2013. Definite green tints,
light nose, pretty but not immediately terroir evocative, with some charm
and energy behind, a little liquorice, more character on the palate. Ready
soon, and nicely done. Tasted: February 2022.

Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru. Organic.

la Bataillère aux Vergelesses – White – Monopole

Extending over 0.67 hectares, this Chardonnay’s plot facing south/south-east is new in the domaine (The vines were planted in 2013). Its soil is composed mainly of limestone and sand.

Named after a previous owner, Mr. Bataille, the vineyard lies next to the road from Beaune to Vergy (thus “Vergelesses” or, in 830, “Vergelosses”).

2020 is the fourth vintage of this white wine, with an expressive smell of exotic fruits, followed by a nice and fresh taste, with just enough body to be perfect. It will deliciously fit with your fish papillotes with bass fish, cod fish or white butter sole. On the meat side, some veal sauté with carrots will be a good match.
