Henri De Villamont Savigny Les Beaune Le Village 2009
The site of Savigny-lès-Beaune was identified as an ideal location and the architect Albert Suisse was appointed to lead the construction which lasted from 1880 to 1888. The outcome was quite spectacular with 4000 covered square meters, six meters high vaults, a capacity of 4000 barrels (of 228 liters each) and a heating system to initiate the malolactic fermentation. The Schenk Group finally acquired it in 1964 together with diverse vineyards in the Côte d’Or.
This is a savory wine, that is as seductive as it is balanced. It is well structured and big with spicy, toasty notes from integrated oak.
Easily pair with roasted white meats, or soft cheeses.
