Savigny Lès Beaune Le Village Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2021

Savigny les Beaune Village - 2021

  • Production3003 bottles
  • PhilosophyIn our opinion, Savigny’s red wines are a good introduction to the Côte de Beaune’s reds. These are accessible, expressive, straightforward, fresh wines that do not hesitate to show off their character.
  • TerroirThe grapes for our cuvée come from a plot located at an altitude of 250m on the alluvial cone of the Le Rhoin River that flows through the village, facing the Hill of Corton. The subsoil is composed of clay-rich marls that lend both finesse and power to the wine. 
  • Vinfication and ageingThe grapes were completely destemmed. Fermentation began after 4 days of maceration under the influence of indigenous yeasts, without the use of sulfites, and lasted 18 days. Extraction of the grapes’ components was achieved through gentle daily pump-overs. Only one punch-down was per- formed at the most intense stage of fermentation. Oak barrel ageing lasted approximately 12 months, using 25% new oak from France’s Allier forests.
  • Tasting notesLovely pale red in colour. The nose is evocative of tangy fruit (sour cherry), wild strawberry and grenadine, immediately followed by a refreshing touch of resinous wood, which is typical of the appellation. Superb fresh, airy start to the palate, which is very delicate. This wine, which boasts good balance and well-integrated acidity, is very pleasing, round and soft. The finish features mentholated notes underpinned by a hint of rhubarb. This enjoyable pleasure wine is endowed with remarkable length on the palate. Ready to drink..
