Lying just up the hillside from the escarpment of Beaune, the vine-growing areas of Savigny-lès-Beaune fall into two areas. The first is in the south adjacent to Beaune and the other is in the north bordering on the appellation of Aloxe-Corton. The wines of Savingy are very like those of Beaune, with a remarkable blackcurrant and strawberry bouquet.
Tasting note
The Savigny-lès-Beaune Red 2009 shows a powerful bouquet of black cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry with earthy undertones. In the mouth, the wine has richness and structure, with smooth tannins.
Awards and Accolades
The Wine Spectator(USA) 89/100
'This pure red exhibits cherry and red currant flavors, with a light confection note creeping in. It’s all about the fruit and smooth texture, though there are ample tannins on the back end. Best from 2013 through 2022.'
