Origins
The Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée was instituted in 1937. The village of Savigny benefits from a unique situation that gives rise to two different types of wine: the neighbouring slope of Pernand-Vergelesses produces mineral, fruity and elegant wines, while the other, located near Mont Battois, produces richer nectars with more structure.
The Premier Cru vineyard, known as ‘Les Vergelesses’, lies on the border between the communes of Pernand and Savigny, facing south.
Vinification and maturing
The juices were cooled and then settled. The musts were then matured in casks and vats during fermentation and follow the same vinification process as the great Burgundy wines. Stirring and ageing over lees.
