Wine information
The wine comes from the single vineyard Les Saucours. The parcel is located in the south of Savigny-lès-Beaune, on the road to Beaune, at medium altitude, facing east. With its seven-year-old Chardonnay vines, it covers 0.6 hectares and was planted with a vine density of 10,000 vines/hectare. The yield is 35 hl/ha. The soil is characterised by clay and loam on limestone. The wine was fermented in barrels and tonneaux and aged in used barriques and tonneaux for 15 to 18 months on the fine lees. The Chardonnay was pressed in whole bunches.
Color
medium straw yellow
Nose
The white Savigny from Climat Les Saucours is now in its third vintage. The wine from comparatively young vines delivers a downright racy, bright and lively image of limes, lemons, young pineapples and crisp pears and peaches, chalk and oyster shells. Added to this are fine notes of clover, coriander and verbena.
Mouth
On the palate the Les Saucours Fresh and sinewy with an invigorating citric acidity. The Burgundy Offers mainly yellow and green notes of citrus, is very juicy and salty and therefore mouthwatering with a finish that is again very citrusy and iodine, ending with an acidic arc that has offered tension and pressure all the time
