This was one of the wines from the recent PWC Burgundy Premier Cru (mostly) Dinner. It was one of the selections from the Wine Society wine list and I must confess to not knowing either the vineyard or the domaine. Savigny-les-Beaune is a commune near Beaune in the Cote d'Or, producing mainly red wines (85%).The vineyards are arranged up the sides of a valley in a V shape with the Beaune side producing more aromatic feminine wines and the Pernand Vergelesse side giving more robust musculine wine. The vineyard of La Dominode is right in the heart of the lieu dit Hauts-Jarrons and was named after a title of the Lord of Comblanchien and Savigny-les-Beaune.
The wine itself was a deep limpid garnet with a closed coffee fruity nose opening very slowly after pouring. The palate was sweet fruity and acid, supported by an acid (mouthwatering acidity) backbone with a touch of astringency.
