The name of the appellation is sometimes written simply as Savigny, without the lès-Beaune part. The production consists of slightly over 85 per cent red wine, and slightly less than 15 per cent white wine.

Vintage : 2020
The public health crisis has certainly marked this year’s harvest, which nonetheless has been able to go ahead!
Despite the year’s record temperatures and lack of rainfall, there has been no lack of quality, although yields are down, with an especially mixed picture with regard to reds. However, these have generally been very well-balanced.
Overall, we have seen nice levels of acidity, promising good aging potential.
