Colour: Light gold colour.
Bouquet: Expressive nose of citrus, fresh pear, exotic fruit, hawthorn blossom and hazelnuts.

Enjoy as an aperitif or with light entrées, fresh-water fish in white sauce, omelettes, or scrambled eggs. It proves a worthy companion to goat cheeses, Gruyère, French Comté, and Cîteaux cheeses.

Drink from now or keep it 4 to 6 years after the vintage in good cellaring conditions.
Savigny-lès-Beaune wine is produced in the commune of Savigny-lès-Beaune in Côte de Beaune of
The name of the appellation is sometimes written simply as Savigny, without the lès-Beaune part. The production consists of slightly over 85 per cent red wine, and slightly less than 15 per cent white wine.
Soils : clay, limestone chalk soil with gravels.
Chardonnay grapes are harvested by hand, sorted and go then through a cold settling of 24 hours at 8°C. (46°F.).
The juice is then put in oak barrels (30 % new oak, 70% one year old barrels) for both the fermentation alcoholic and the malolactic and then aged 12 months with the lees.
The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.
The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.
The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.
In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
