Product notes

Savigny les Beaune is a wine-growing village par excellence, to the north and adjacent to Beaune. The vineyard has a South/South-East, East and North-East exposure. It is located between 220 and 360 m above sea level. The calcareous soils are gravelly or stony, light and not very fertile.

Production notes

The harvest is manual in petty cash. The grapes are then gently pressed then fermented in our cooperage barrels, one third of which are new. The aging lasts about 15 months on fine lees.

Tasting notes

Elegant wine with aromas of white fruit, apple, white flowers and a hint of spice. The taste is balanced by both richness and fresh acidity. Pairings with fish and chips, sushi, vegetable fritters and goat cheese.

James Suckling, August 203 (Vintage 2021)

For a cool vintage white Savigny this has good substance and creaminess together with a lively, but well-integrated acidity. As it aerates generous pear and candied citrus peel aromas develop. The finish is crisp and already quite nutty with some wet stone character. Drink or hold.

Allen Meadows, June 2023 (Vintage 2021)

Once again there is subtle but not imperceptible wood present on the riper aromas of pear liqueur and a pretty range of floral elements. There is both excellent richness and volume to the generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that offer both better depth and persistence as well as better balance. While this should amply repay 5 to 8 years of aging, it could also be approached after only 3-ish years.
