Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Haut-Jarrons

Varietal
Pinot Noir

Notes

VINEYARD: The Hauts-Jarrons ("jarrons" meaning tree branches) is located in the middle of the slope under Mont Battois heading towards Beaune. The deep and sandy soil is similar to that of the Beaune-Bressandes. Likewise, the wines are more like those from Beaune than Savigny.

VINIFICATION: Following the manual harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed, cold-macerated for a few days, then trodden down on a daily basis. The process of fermentation is carried out naturally at low temperatures. After a period of 2 weeks in vats, the wines are brought to the cellar and aged over 18 months. Whenever possible, the red wines are not filtered.
