Daniel Largeot Savigny-les-Beaune Burgundy France 2020

Daniel Largeot was a well-respected winemaker in Chorey-les-Beaune, whose deep, traditional red wines were much appreciated by a mostly local clientele. He started bottling his own wine in 1965 and was joined by his daughter Marie-France, who completed wine studies in Beaune in 2000. 

13 hectares spread over five appellations. Their philosophy that wine is made in the vineyard is simple. "We invest tremendous time and effort between the vines,” “because when the grapes are not at their best, they are difficult to improve in the winery."

overachieving wines from unheralded appellations. They are and excellent old school producer, without relying on the trappings of sexy new oak but rather displaying deep red fruit and a subtle hint of earthiness with more solid of a tannin structure that only adds to the wine’s appeal. This is another domaine whose wines over deliver for their price.
