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 Rohin river, contribute not only to the typicity but also to the diversity of this wine. The grapes that go into this wine come primarily from the upper part of the slope.
