| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by beachboyc on 12/27/2014 & rated 90 points: consistent tasting note as last year, but with more evolve nose. 90pts (1617 views) | | | Tasted by beachboyc on 9/19/2013 & rated 88 points: Somehow I feel the nose is closed, with only light wet stone and lemon/lime aromas. The palate is more complex with good acidity. This wine has a honey mid-palate, which is very tempting. It also has a nice and long mineral and lemon zest aftertaste. I think the nose should be able to evolve me and has a potential of 90pts. 88+ now. I still have bottle and will drink in a year to two to see the difference.

Clear pale lemon in sight with a clean overpowering nose of toast, wood and smokiness. After a while hints of green pepper dominated the nose . The palate delivers the same characteristics with a toasty-yeasty aftertaste.
A very good quality Chardonnay! (2245 views) | | | Tasted by pomelo on 10/22/2012 & rated 90 points: Très beau savigny les Beaune. Nez sur les poires, le silex et le bois.
Bouche grasse et ample. Belle finale avec très légère amertume.
Beau petit bourgogne avec le gras d'un petit meursault et la minéralité d'un chablis. (2403 views) | | | Tasted by knothoef on 5/18/2012 & rated 89 points: elegant wellstructured wood, light tones of vanilla, hint of citrus and white berries. Pale yellow colour. (1419 views) |

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio

The Village: Savigny-lès-Beaune lies between Beaune to the south and to the north Pernand-Vergelesses with Aloxe-Corton to the east. This vibrant little village is both picturesque and charming. The village dates to the Roman-Gallo Villa Saviniaci. Its twelfth century church, two châteaux, and similarly venerable homes surrounded by their vineyards, invite exploration. Moreover, many (12) of the walls of Savigny's edifices are engraved with wall inscriptions, often on the subject of wine. These date from about 1700 when monsieur de Migieu, who owned the Château de Savigny, had them engraved. One states: "Les vins de Savigny sont nourrissants, théologiques et morbifuges." ("The wines of Savigny are nourishing, theological and death-preventive.") This was doubtless inspired by the Vatican's impressive orders for Savigny's wines, which were far in excess of that needed to celebrate the mass. Today Savigny is village of 1,450 inhabitants (only twice the number from the 13th century!). It is well know for two annual festivals, the first is Bienvenue à Savigny (Welcome to Savigny) held the first weekend in May when most of the village winemakers open their doors for tasting. The second in mid July is Savigny en Tous Sens (Savigny in All Senses) when the village hosts a balade gourmande, featuring numerous village wines, that ends with a sit-down dinner at the Château. This event requires a ticket that can be obtained from the event web site http://www.savigny-entoussens.com/). Savigny is also the home to Cousinerie de Bourgogne, a society of approximately 200 devoted to the celebration of wine. The Wines: Savigny is the third largest producer of red wine in the Côte d'Or behind Beaune and Pommard. It also produces small amounts of whites, rosés, and crémants.
Savigny has no Grand Crus but more Premier Crus than any other village on the Côte d'Or. The village has 22 Premier Crus totaling 141.5 ha, split into two groups by the river Rhoin which runs through it from the Haut Côte down to the plain, those south of the village toward Beaune include les Rouvrettes, Redrescul, les Haut Jarron, La Dominode, les Jarron, les Narbantons, les Haut Marconnets, les Marconnets and those north of the village toward Pernand include Aux Guettes, Aux Clous, Aux Serpentières, Aux Gravains, Petites-Godeaux, les Charnières, les Talmettes, les Lavières, les Vergelesses, Batailière, les Basses-Vergelesses, Champ-Chevrey, and Aux Fourneaux. Savigny's vineyards show two distinct terroirs. Those to the north of the Rhoin face almost due south with full sun and are rich in limestones but with shallow soil, producing lighter, fruitier, faster-maturing wines; those to the south of Rhoin face almost due east (with 1-2 hours less sun) and are sandier with deep soil, producing fuller, more earthy, longer-lived wines. There are also 212.5 ha of village wines including Aux Grands Liards with its vines planted in 1913 and approaching their 100 year anniversary. The village also has 190 ha of regional burgundy vineyards. Of particular importance in the village is the production of crémants, which was started in 1825. The lesser central vineyards lie mostly along the bank of the little Rhoin River, which runs between the two Côtes of Savigny. |
