Savigny Hauts Marconnets Chanson

The Vine :

Grape Variety : Chardonnay

Soil : Marl,chalk and limestone

Site : White wines are very unusal in Savigny-les-Beaune, the vineyards producing essentially red wines. The particular nature of the soil "Hauts Marconnets" with Marl, chalk and limestone encouraged Chanson to plant Chardonnay. The vineyard of 2,18 hectares is ideally situated high up on the hill of Savigny-les-Beaune, facing south-east, close to the hills of Beaune 1er Crus.

The Wine :

Tasting : Bright gold colour. Fragrances of lime blossom mixed with expressive aromas of white orchard fruit (pear, appel) on a hint of minerality. Good-balanced and precise. Beautiful fruit. Delicate oak note. Long and slightly spicy finish.

Food Pairing : Shellfish, fish and cheese (goat).
