NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The A.F.Gros Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru 'Clos des Guettes' has a pale ruby color typical of a thin-skinned variety like Pinot Noir.
On the nose, fresh red fruits, such as cherries, strawberries and raspberries reveal themselves in the glass. These well-defined fruit notes are accompanied by delicate floral notes and a hint of sweet baking spices. The palate displays a harmonious balance between fruit concentration, lively acidity, and silky tannins. The red fruit flavors continue to shine, complemented by subtle earthy undertones and a touch of oak. The wine displays a medium body, with a silky texture that adds to its overall finesse.
