An ethereally graceful wine from a less well-known Burgundy village, this offers beguiling notes of wild cherry, sloe, rosehip, damson, walnut and marzipan. The supple-textured palate is supremely elegant, beautifully-balanced and long. There is absolutely nothing to prevent this being enjoyed straight away, but if you feel like stocking up, it could theoretically yield fabulous pleasure over the next 7+ years. It's so delicious that we somehow doubt that any bottles will survive that long unbroached, however. Lès is an archaic French preposition meaning 'close to' - hence Savigny-lès-Beaune is the village of Savigny, near the town of Beaune.

Winemaking
Care and attention is applied ao all aspects of the creation of this wine. Harvesting by hand, in small open crates in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks via indigenous yeasts in a temperature controlled environment. "Pigeage" (punching down of the cap during fermentation) is done once a day until half of fermentation is done; one pumping over (remontage) per day till the end of the fermentation. Only the free run juice is kept from this wine, pressing are used elsewhere. The wine is then aged in barrels (10% in new oak) for 12 to 15 months.
