"What elegance this charming Savigny has!"
This 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune, with its deep ruby color, offers lovely notes of wild strawberries and spices on the nose. Silky tannins complement the aromas of blackcurrant and licorice on the palate, which is beautifully fresh.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated Estate (2025 Guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, founded in 1797, is primarily associated with the Côte de Beaune, where it owns the bulk of its vineyards, culminating in a magnificent plot on the famous Corton hillside. Louis-Fabrice, the eleventh generation of the Latour family, chairs the family’s board of directors and has complete confidence in his excellent winemakers. The reds have undergone extended fermentation, giving them more body and substance; the whites are less reductive and more harmoniously oaked than in the past, with a constant pursuit of balance that sometimes leads to them being underestimated in their youth, but they age magnificently. The 2017 vintage follows in the successful footsteps of the 2010 and 2015 vintages for both reds and whites, but we have more confidence in the wines made from the estate’s own vineyards than in certain purchased grapes—especially the whites, which are too diluted.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
A family-owned estate that has always remained independent, founded in 1797 and run successively by 10 generations of the Latour family. A key player in Burgundy’s wine industry and the largest owner of Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte-d’Or (28 hectares out of the 48 that make up its vineyard). The grapes are vinified in Aloxe-Corton, the family’s birthplace, and the estate has its own cooperage.
