Vinous
"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.
