Description

Made from 50 year old vines, the Savigny-Lès-Beaune comes from three parcels that are blended during vinification. One is next to Aloxe and the other two are further north. Savigny has had a run of difficult vintages since 2014 with low yields. There`s reduction - most obvious on the nose, but it doesn`t disguise the red fruit, good presence and very fine tannins. This is a lovely package with a good finish.

Jean-Marc Millot has been growing grapes and making estate bottled wines since 1992. With an amazing lineup of vineyards under his name, including 3 Grand Crus (Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, and Clos de Vougeot), it was clear this domaine was headed towards greatness. It wasn’t until his daughter, Alix, arrived in 2014 and took on the full grape growing and winemaking responsibilities that this greatness was achieved. The wines have that rare ability to provide immediate carnal pleasure, while having the stuffing to age for decades. This is truly one of the most exciting finds in Burgundy.
