2020 Maison FANG Savigny-lès-Beaune "Les Guetottes"

Maison FANG is an exciting and contemporary micro-négociant project based in Meursault. The producer focuses on small-batch, artisanal Burgundy, often working with high-quality parcels like "Les Guetottes" to create wines that emphasize purity, freshness, and a minimalist aesthetic.

The "Les Guetottes" vineyard is a village-level climat in Savigny-lès-Beaune known for its stony, limestone-heavy soils. These conditions naturally imbue the wine with a vibrant mineral core and an elegant structure. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was exceptionally high in quality, characterized by a warm growing season that resulted in deep concentration and remarkably ripe fruit, yet balanced by surprising levels of freshness.
