Catalogue information
West of Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses are the vineyards of Savigny-Les-Beaune. It is not uncommon in this part of Burgundy for white wines to be blended with pinot blanc grapes; However, ninety percent of the wine produced here is red. For this 1st Cru, the pinot noir comes from 220 to 360 meters high stony, slightly fertile limestone soil. The grapes grow mainly in an easterly direction and after a month of fermentation and fifteen months of aging on wood produce intense red wines with a powerful bouquet and elegant taste: cherries, raspberries and sultry black fruit. The light structure with the distinct character makes this red Savigny an excellent glass for not too heavy preparations: preferably dishes with chicken, turkey and duck. Bottle aging for the next five to eight years benefits the wine.
