The vineyard

The Savigny-Les-Beaune appellation is located in the northern part of the Côte de Beaune. This distinctive terroir takes the shape of a V-shaped valley, offering remarkable soil diversity, ranging from gravelly, iron-rich soils to clay-limestone and sandy plots. The estate cultivates its vines with the utmost respect for the environment, with the entire vineyard certified organic.

The vintage

The year 2023 stood out for its particularly favourable climatic conditions in France, allowing the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. This vintage produced remarkable concentration within the berries, driven by significant evaporation during the crucial ripening stages, resulting in beautifully balanced fruit.
