Savigny-Lès-Beaune

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.
The majority of the grapes that go into the crafting of this wine are primarily located at the top of the slopes.
