Overview

Vineyards arc across slopes west of the city from the Savigny valley toward Pommard. The long hillside’s changing exposure and limestone-marl soils create diverse Pinot Noir, from fragrant and supple to deep and structured, alongside rounded, fresh Chardonnay.

Geography & Climate

The appellation forms a broad east- and southeast-facing slope immediately west of Beaune, divided among numerous named climats.

Soils

Jurassic limestone and marl generate brown calcareous soils with variable clay, gravel, and slope deposits.

Wine Styles

Red Pinot Noir predominates and spans many styles; white Chardonnay is less common but can be rich, fresh, and ageworthy.
