From the Winemaker:
SITUATION: Côte de Beaune
LEVEL: AOC Premier Cru
GRAPE VARIETY: Pinot noir
Savigny-Les-Beaune is an old, typically Burgundian winegrowing village, just north of Beaune. Today, the appellation is divided between the cultivation of Chardonnay (15%) and Pinot Noir (85% grapes) and boasts 22 Premier Crus including the renowned “Les Peuillets” climat.
The plot borders on the Beaune appellation and faces east. The vines are planted at an average altitude of 250 metres on a gentle slope.
TASTING
The nose features delectable scents of red and black fruit (cherry, blackcurrant, raspberry…) and spices. On the palate, this wine is fleshy and boasts a delicate tannic structure. The finish, which reveals more animal notes and well-integrated oak, is long lasting.
