Tasting notes
The Savigny -les- Beaune rouge 2014 reveals a nice ruby colour with garnet tints. On the nose, aromas of cherry mingle with notes of licorice. On the palate, the tannins are present and elegant and toasted notes emerge. It is nicely lingering
Description
Lying just beneath the hill of Beaune, the vine-growing areas of Savigny-les-Beaune fall into two areas. The first is in the south adjacent to Beaune and the other is in the north bordering on the appellation of Aloxe-Corton. The red wines of Savigny are very like those of Beaune.
