Savigny les Beaune - Les Saucours 2021

Domaine Chandon de Briailles, located in Savigny-lès-Beaune, is a historic estate in the Côte de Beaune. The domaine cultivates prestigious terroirs in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and on the Corton hill, with an approach focused on allowing each individual parcel to express its natural character. Its wines are distinguished by their finesse, precision and ability to reveal the nuances of Burgundy’s great terroirs.

The Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Saucours comes from a 0.60-hectare parcel, planted in 2014 and located south of the village of Savigny-lès-Beaune. Situated mid-slope on white marl soils in a naturally cool environment, the vineyard offers ideal conditions for producing Chardonnay characterised by freshness, minerality and floral expression. The vineyard has been farmed according to biodynamic principles since its acquisition in 2008.
