Full Name: Henri De Villamont Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Clos De Guettes

The site of Savigny-lès-Beaune was identified as an ideal location and the architect Albert Suisse was appointed to lead the construction which lasted from 1880 to 1888. The outcome was quite spectacular with 4000 covered square meters, six meters high vaults, a capacity of 4000 barrels (of 228 liters each) and a heating system to initiate the malolactic fermentation. The Schenk Group finally acquired it in 1964 together with diverse vineyards in the Côte d’Or.

100% Pinot Noir that is aged in French Oak.

A world of wonderment in the glass... Deep red, but translucent and opaque in places. It is still, very much, a vibrant wine in colour. It is fruits of the forest on the nose with an earthiness that screams France.

The palate allows the fruit to come to the fore. Dark cherries are prominent, and are rich, but also balanced with stylish tannins and earth and dust. Definitely a moreish wine dry, medium to full-bodied.
