Domaine du Prieuré Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Gollardes / 2020 / 75cl

Found in the heart of the Cote de Beaune, the picturesque village of Savigny-les-Beaune has for a long time earned its good name. It was here that the monks of Citeaux, the founders of the Burgundian vineyard system, became substantial property owners. In order to administer their vineyards they established a priory in the 16th century, hence the name. Today the 31 hectare domaine is owned by Jean-Michel Maurice, the mayor of Savigny, along with his son Stephen, who uses his international experience as winemaker.

Made from grapes grown in an 80 acre plot on the slopes of Savigny les Beaune which enjoys excellent sunshine. This elegant perfurmed Savigny preserves the complex raspberry fruit flavours, distinct mineral character and power inherited from the iron rich soil. The inclusion of some stems created an inticing, smokey nose which draws you in to enjoy this wine which is well-balanced and smooth on the palate.
