Savigny-lès-Beaune AC
[sa-vee-nyee lay BOHN]
The village of Savigny-lès-Beaune is located between BEAUNE and ALOXE-CORTON. The Savigny-lès-Beaune AC, which surrounds this village, is the third largest producing APPELLATION in the CÔTE DE BEAUNE section of BURGUNDY. Red wines are made from PINOT NOIR, and white wines are made from CHARDONNAY. The reputation of the wines from Savigny-lès-Beaune is that they're generally LIGHTER and less full-bodied (and therefore not considered as good) as that of many of its neighbors, which means prices are lower. Aux Vergelesses, Aux Guettes, Les Lavières, and Aux Serpentières are some of the better PREMIER CRU vineyards. They are allowed to append after the appellation name.
