Savigny-lès-Beaune
The Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation d'origine contrôlée is a village appellation in the Côte de Beaune region of the Côte d'Or. Recognized in 1937, the Savigny-lès-Beaune AOC concerns only the commune of the same name. It includes 22 climats classified as Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru, which can also be included after the appellation.

The vineyards of Savigny-lès-Beaune and Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru are planted on slopes that rise gently and then more firmly, from 250 to 400 meters above sea level, where we find the alluvial cone of the Rhoin and then the geology of the Montagne de Corton. On the Pernand-Vergelesses side, the south-facing slopes benefit from gravelly soils scattered with ferruginous oolite. Downhill, the reddish-brown limestone becomes more clayey and stony. Opposite, the hillside faces east on limestone soils with sandy undertones.

Savigny-lès-Beaune and Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru are red wines made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes and, to a lesser extent, white wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Domaine Leroy wines from Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils, as well as those from Joseph Drouhin and Maison Louis Jadot, are highly recommended for connoisseurs of this appellation.

"Confidential vineyard of the Hospitals of Dijon

Like the Hospices de Beaune, the Hospices de Dijon have received numerous gifts and bequests since their origins in the 13th century, including some famous vineyards. This 1.05 hectare parcel, cultivated by Domaine du Château de Marsannay, is one of them. Blending cherry notes and velvety tannins, this Savigny-lès-Beaune is all elegance.

"A best-seller made for keeping!

Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes 1er Cru 2022 opens with "subtle aromas of raspberry, blackberry, orange zest and light undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Well-balanced acidity and a very harmonious finish. Often one of Jadot's trump cards, this wine is a worthy follow-up to the impressive 2021." (Vinous 2024)

"Tender and delicate, fine and fragrant, a perfect representative of the appellation".

"The Savigny-lès-Beaune Vieilles Vignes 2022, bottled in early June 2023, was aged in two vats. The nose offers aromas of black cherry, cassis and iodine, with a trace of seaweed in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, with notes of red fruit, well-balanced and a harmonious, seductive finish. A real delight, to be kept for 12 months in the bottle". (Vinous 2023)

"An alliance between vivacity and roundness".

A rare wine, Savigny Blanc is also sometimes compared to its famous and close neighbor, Corton Charlemagne. Known for their liveliness in their youth, their mellowness emerges as they mature into harmonious, solid wines. They have a very pronounced terroir flavor, and the texture is rich, opulent and perfectly balanced. "Les Saucours" is a delicate, structured, full-bodied cuvée.

"A delicate cuvée for all occasions".

"Pale medium ruby. A little more vanilla and spice on the nose (one more new barrel). Raspberry and red cherry. The current sweetness is not the house style, according to winemaker Caroline Chenu. Quite chewy too." (Jancis Robinson 2023)

This dark ruby-colored 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune offers pretty notes of wild strawberry and spice on the nose. Silky tannins accompany aromas of blackcurrant and licorice on the fresh palate.

"The perfect balance

A fine introduction to the red villages of the Côte de Beaune. This wine is particularly expressive, fresh and fruity, with magnificent ageing potential. On the palate, there are hints of spice and blueberry, with subtle oak and an almost saline finish. A well-balanced wine to keep!

"Pinot Noir in its purest expression".

"Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Bourgeots 2022 has a lovely bouquet with lively aromas of black cherry, raspberry and rose petals, well-defined and concentrated. The palate is medium-bodied, with notes of red fruit pastilles and fine tannins. Although the finish is not particularly complex, this wine is very harmonious and utterly charming." (Vinous 2022)

"Finesse and flexibility go hand in hand!

A blend of different Savigny-lès-Beaune premiers crus from Maison Louis Jadot, this red offers a nose of red fruit aromas such as blackcurrant and cherry. Supple and discreetly tannic, the palate boasts a fine, fresh structure.

"A supple, feminine wine!

"Deep, almost black in color, it has an impressive concentration of dark plums, with notes of earth, smoke and a hint of leather. The tannins are firm but very finely grained. In its power and concentration, this wine is almost reminiscent of Drouhin's work in Oregon rather than Burgundy. This clos is in the center of the village of Les Godeaux, at the top of the slope above Lavieres, with south-facing vines." (Decanter 2021)

"An elegant, well-structured wine".

This Savigny-Lès-Beaune is vinified from several hilltop plots on brown, stony soil. The nose reveals aromas of red fruit with hints of licorice. With age, animal and undergrowth notes frequently appear. Smooth tannins are combined with a supple, fruity palate.

Notes of toasted hazelnut and acacia honey on the nose of this Savigny blanc. Ample and round on the palate, with lovely vanilla and brioche aromas and a fine mineral finish. This rare wine represents no more than 3.5% of the village's total production. The best terroirs of Savigny-les-Beaune are to be found in the extreme west of the appellation, towards the village of Bouilland. It's no surprise that some winemakers compare these vineyards and their soil composition to those of the famous nearby Corton-Charlemagne. What class!
