Savigny-Lès-Beaune "Les Saucours"
Situation
Côte de Beaune
Level
AOC Premier Cru
Grape variety
Chardonnay
Savigny is a typical old Burgundian wine-producing village just north of Beaune. Today, the Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation is divided between the growing of both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes (85%). The topography, sometimes well defined as on either side of the Rohin river; contribute not only to the typicity but also the diversity of this wine. The grapes that go into this wine come primarily from the upper part of the slope. The climate "Les Saucours" is located at the south of the village.
Tasting
Our wine is characterized by white flower aromas and suble citrus notes. The palate is round, powerful, vivacious and harmonious, with a touch of minerality.
Food/wine pairing
Ideal with fine fish and seafood, this wine is also a good match for white meat, poultry in sauce and full-flavoured cheeses.
