The Climate “En l’Orme” is located on the northern part of the appellation, on the edge of
Savigny-lès-Beaune, between the Marconnets and the Perrières. Hot sector, the plot forms
a bowl where the heat tends to concentrate even more. There are two types of clays: yellow and
pink!
Shallow clays, the mother rock is a few meters away…
The average age of the vines coupled with a high average temperature on the plot give a
colourful wine, deep, almost black. On the nose, we immediately perceive an attack on the black
fruits (blackberry very present) as well as the limestone side of the place. This minerality reappears
immediately in the mouth, by this side stony, combined with the richness and velvet typical of the
Beaune appellation.
The end of the palate is quite firm, despite silky tannins that will take this wine far into
time. A good decade of cellar will soften it more and you can enjoy it on a
nice piece of grilled beef or a game in sauce.
