A mature Savigny from the grower many considered the master of the appellation, in one of Burgundy's legendary vintages. Maurice Ecard built his reputation on Les Serpentieres, a 12-hectare premier cru on the Pernand side of the Rhoin valley, facing south at 260 to 270 meters on sandy brown soils rich in marl, which is why his wines carry perfume and lift rather than weight. The 1990 growing season was warm and dry, giving reds of unusual ripeness and concentration wrapped around real structure, and this bottle has had thirty-five years to knit it all together. Sourced from a private cellar rather than the domaine. Decant gently off any sediment and drink it now, at its peak.

Robert Parker

90 points

"The 1990 Les Serpentieres is as good a red burgundy as you can find in Savigny-Les-Beaune. The huge nose of jammy red and black fruits, spices, and minerals, is followed by a deep, superbly rich, powerful wine with decent acidity and a long, fleshy, rich finish. It should drink well for at least 12-15 years." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast squab or duck, coq au vin, mushroom risotto, veal with morels, or a plate of aged Comte.

Tasting Profile

Mature Pinot Noir: dried cherry and forest floor with truffle, leather and gentle spice. Medium-bodied, tannins fully resolved into silk, acidity still fresh, with a long, savory finish.
