Savigny lès Beaune 'Clos des Guettotes' Monopole
The Popes described the wines of Savigny-lès-Beaune as “theological”. A historic vineyard and illustrious owners such as the Dukes of Burgundy, the Cistercians, the Knights of Malta… This village with a long and fascinating history is also one of the most extensive wine-producing villages in the Côte d’Or. The climate les Guettotes therefore dates from medieval times and refers to places from which one could watch over the country and protect those who used the roads.

Tasting notes: The result of a rigorous selection of Pinot Noir grapes, this Savigny les Beaune is characterised by a beautiful intense garnet colour, the effect of this fine vintage. The nose gives us fruit aromas, such as cherry and raspberry, as well as more floral aromas such as peony. The tannins are well present and build a robust structure around notes of blackberry and liquorice.

There is a beguiling depth of fruit here which seems a little more profound and deeper-set than those flavours found in the bright and shiny Volnay. While not bogged down with excess weight or tannin, there is a certain gravitas here making this a very attractive Savigny. In need of a year or two to shed its light cloak of tannin, this is a cunning buy for your cellar and a wine that performs well above its station.
