Savigny lès Beaune

Grown between the Corton hill and the village of Beaune, our Savigny boasts a deep cherry-red robe and a bouquet of small red and black fruits (raspberry, blackcurrant) and flowers (violets).

In the mouth, this wine is tannic and powerful with its body and roundness bringing it balance.
