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.
