Savigny Les Beaunes 1er Cru La Dominode

Wine information: The commune of Savigny-les-Beaune is located higher up between Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses, in the north of the Côte de Beaune. Savigny Les Beaune is a wine-growing village par excellence. The vineyard faces south / south-east, east and north-east. It is situated at a height of between 220 and 360 m. The chalky soils are gravely or stony, light and not very fertile. Situated on Mont-Battois, on the edge of the Beaune vineyard, facing north-east, the “La Dominode” 1er Cru (literally “Vine of the Lord”) lies on a sandy, slightly pebbly soil and lies within the ‘Hautes Jarrons 1er Cru vineyard. This Savigny Premier Cru is fermented in vat for 3-4 weeks then matured in oak casks for about 15-18 months. The Savigny Les Beaune Premier Cru “La Dominode” is a wine with quite an intense reddish colour. Solidly-built, lacking neither character nor strength, it is a very fruity and silky wine in the mouth with a potential for ageing. It will go very well with light, red or white meat, game and with quite strong cheeses as it matures.
