The only variety of Burgundy red wines: the delicate Pinot Noir.
Terroir
This parcel is more than 50 years old. The importance of this commune resides in the size of its surface and the number of renowned climats. Our Savigny-les-Beaune comes from the “les Fournaux” climat, characterized by a deep and ferruginous ground.
Origine du nom
The name “Aux Fournaux” refers to the coal kilns of which remains have been found
Vinification
We aim to obtain fruity wines, rich in blended tannins, signature of well ripened grapes. We bring in the grapes in small crates for careful sorting in the winery. The fermentation lasts 15 days with pigeages, punching down of the cap, allowing the wine to soak up the richness and the colour from the grape-skins before pressing.. Racking by the means of a bellow eliminates the need for a pump. All these precautions limit handling of the wine, thus preserving all the richness. Ageing takes place in barrels of which 30 % are new during 15 months.
