Côte de Beaune

Level

AOC Premier Cru

Grape variety

Chardonnay

Savigny-Les-Beaune is an old, typically Burgundian winegrowing village, just north of Beaune. Today, the appellation is divided between the cultivation of Pinot Noir (85%) and Chardonnay (15%) grapes. The topography, which can vary markedly on either side of the small Rhoin river, contributes to the typicity as well as the diversity of this cru.
"Les Saucours" is located at the entrance to the village on a moderately steep, north-facing slope where the soil contains a relatively high proportion of marls, this climat is particularly well suited to the cultivation of Chardonnay grapes.
