Information about the wine

The wine comes from the single vineyard Les Saucours. The parcel is located south of Savigny-lès-Beaune on the road to Beaune at medium altitude, facing east.

Colour

Medium straw yellow

Nose

The white Savigny from the Climat Les Saucours is a delicate yet intense wine that opens with a slight reduction. It then takes on a increasingly creamy and silky character with notes of yellow pome and stone fruit, clover and verbena, ripe lemons, and a hint of patisserie.

Palate

On the palate, Les Saucours is juicy, with delicate yellow fruit accompanied by an inviting yeasty sweetness. Its texture and acidity are pleasantly elegant, mouthwatering in its minerality and salinity, and at the same time pleasantly slender, almost delicate, despite its remarkable inner density.

Wine Advocate

Score: 90

Exhibiting aromas of pear, ripe citrus fruits and freshly baked bread, the 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Saucours Blanc is medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive, with a fleshy core of fruit and chalky backend grip.
