The Savigny les Beaune Premier Cru ‘La Dominode’ is a wine of quite an intense colour. Solidly-built, lacking with character and strength, it is a very fruity and silky wine in the mouth with a potential for ageing.
Savigny les Beaune is a wine-growing village par excellence, to the north of and adjacent to Beaune. The vineyard faces south / south-east, east and north-east. It is situated at a height of between 220 and 360m. 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’ Premier Cru (‘Vine of the Lord’) lies on a sandy, slightly pebbly soil, within the Hautes Jarrons Premier Cru vineyard. This Savigny Premier Cru is fermented in vat for 3-4 weeks, then matured in oak casks for about 15-18 months.
