Savigny-Lès-Beaune 'Les Bas Liards', Pierre Meurgey 2020 Wine (75cl)

The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Pierre Meurgey is one of Burgundy's quieter overachievers — a négociant and grower who has spent decades navigating the Côte de Beaune with an unusually sharp eye for value. Les Bas Liards is a lieu-dit in Savigny-lès-Beaune, sitting at the southern end of the village where the soils lean chalky and the vines catch good afternoon light. It's Pinot Noir doing what Savigny does best: neither the weight of Pommard nor the ethereal precision of Chambolle, but something winningly its own — earthy, bright, and honest. The 2020 vintage gave producers ripe, generous fruit with enough structure to age gracefully, and Meurgey has handled it with restraint. This is village-level Burgundy that punches with confidence: red cherry and iron, a little woodland floor, and tannins fine enough to drink now with a slight chill.
