COLLECTION VILLAGES
SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE
Village
Savigny-lès-Beaune is home to deep and generous soils that are ideally suited to growing vines.
The wines typically show medium color intensity. Their bouquet is elegant and fairly powerful, dominated by notes of morello cherry, blackcurrant, and raspberry, which evolve toward strawberry and undergrowth with a few years of age.
Supple and lightly tannic, the wines have a graceful structure that lends them a certain feminine charm. Perfumed and tender, they are rich in aromatic expression. It is their exquisite and delicate finesse that appeals to true enthusiasts.

A PERSONAL REFLECTION
Terroir, ORIGIN,
and identity
Traces of a monastery, an abbey, and even several hospitals remain in the names of the local lieux-dits.
Our parcel, located in the “Moutier-Amet” vineyard, is already recorded under that name in the first cadastral map from 1826. It’s a contraction of the form Mostier Arramé, first mentioned in 1182, which in turn derives from the Latin Monasterium Adremari—named for Adremarus, a priest from Troyes who founded a Benedictine abbey here in 837.
On the right bank of the Rhoin River, soils are sandy and gravelly, with limestone scree. On the left bank, ferruginous clays and limestone rest atop layers of limestone bedrock.
