Domaine Lebreuil Savigny les Beaune 1er cru red Aux Clous
£51.95
The wine undergoes traditional Burgundian vinification with indigenous yeasts and extended ageing in oak barrels. In the glass, it reveals a classic aromatic profile of fresh red berries complemented by subtle spice and delicate oak influence. Elegant and finely structured, with silky tannins and impressive length, this Premier Cru offers both immediate charm and the capacity to age gracefully for a decade or more, making it a benchmark example of the balance and finesse for which Savigny-les-Beaune is renowned.
Ideal with roast duck, lamb, or pork. It also complements game birds, mushroom dishes, and soft cheeses like Brie.
Domaine Lebreuil is a family-run estate based in the heart of Savigny-lès-Beaune, just outside Beaune in Burgundy. With origins dating back to 1935, the Domaine has been passed down through generations, steadily expanding its vineyard holdings while maintaining a strong focus on traditional Burgundian winemaking. Today, it owns around 10.5 hectares across Savigny-lès-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton, producing a range of village and Premier Cru wines in both red and white.
The estate is committed to expressing terroir with precision, combining classic vineyard practices with modern techniques. It follows a “lutte raisonnée” approach in the vineyard, intervening only when necessary to protect vine health and reduce chemical use. Wines are typically fruit-driven, smooth, and elegant, with fine structure and good ageing potential, reflecting both the character of the grape and the purity of the appellation.
