Origins

The appellation area extends around the commune that gave it its name, Savigny-lès-Beaune. It lies to the north of the Côte de Beaune, in the continuation of the Côte de Nuits, between Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and the Montagne de Corton.

The vineyards form a V, with the two branches separated by the alluvial cone of the Rhoin. As a result, we find a diversity of terroirs, ranging from gravelly, iron-rich soils on the Pernand-Vergelesses side, to reddish-brown limestone with more clay on the way down the hillside, to sandier soils on the opposite slope. This diversity produces the fruity, supple wines that are so characteristic of the appellation.

The appellation covers 383 hectares: 144 hectares of vines are classified as 1er cru and only 15% of the surface area is given over to white wines.

Vinification and maturing

100% Pinot Blanc. The grapes were pressed immediately after the harvest. The juice was left to settle in vats where alcoholic fermentation began, before being transferred to barrels. The wine remained for 11 months in the calm of the cellar, half of it in barrels that had already been used once, a quarter in new oak, and a quarter in two-year-old barrels. The lees were stirred for two months.
