Savigny Les Beaune Aux Fournaux
Savigny Les Beaune Aux Fournaux
The soil is clay at the surface and pebbly limestone deeper down, quite uneven —a terroir out of the ordinary. Eastern exposure, just below mid-slope, leads to early ripening. Deep with almost a hint of liquorice in the background, long finish with well-structured tannins. This is exceptional and will give years of pleasure. Natural sulfites only.

Claude Nicolay
Claude Nicolay & her brother, François, are the current generation in a family estate that was founded in 1834. They have small plots totalling 34 acres dotted throughout some of Burgundy’s biggest names including; Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. Claude and François have not rested on the prestigiousfamily name (they are related to the Chandon family of Moët& Chandon in Champagne). Since 2001 they have been on ajourney towards fully biodynamic viticulture, a reaction towhat they felt was the destruction of vineyards in Burgundy through profuse spraying with chemical pesticides and herbicides. What you get here is not just a Chardonnay from the exalted Grand Cru slopes of Corton-Le Charlemagne, but a pure andhonest expression of time and place. Gently nurtured inseven-year-old barrels after a slow fermentation, it displays power and elegance from early on, developing richness and complexity as it matures in bottle.
