Domaine Decelle et Fils - Savigny Lès Beaune - White 2019
Domaine Decelle & Fils is located in Corgoloin, on the border between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy . The estate was founded in 2008 by Olivier Decelle , drawing on his experience in Roussillon, Bordeaux and the Rhône. Its 8-hectare Burgundy vineyard is spread over several appellations such as Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Beaune Premier Cru, Chorey-Lès-Beaune and Côte-de-Nuits-Village. The vines are divided into 15 plots and certified organic since 2010. All these vines have in common more or less clay soils with limestone bedrock. The differences in terroirs relate to very fine variations in altitude, exposure, density and thickness of soil, slope or type of soil.
Savigny-Lès-Beaune Blanc is made from Chardonnay grown in Les Planchots and Les Pimentiers climates. The grapes are harvested manually then delicately pressed in a membrane press. Fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. The wine is aged in oak barrels of 12 hectoliters (50%) and in large barrels of 500 liters (50%) for 14 months .
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
