Domaine Chanson Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru Hauts Marconnets Domaine 2019 (90 WS)
“This sleek white offers a whiff of butterscotch candy on the nose, which gives way to peach, apple pie, butter and baking spice flavors. Fluid and harmonious, with a lingering aftertaste of citrus and spice.” BS

Savigny-lès-Beaune
White wine is a rarity in Savigny-les-Beaune, an appellation that produces almost exclusively red. Les Hauts Marconnets is the exception: a 2.1-hectare parcel high on the Savigny hillside where marl, chalk, and limestone soils led Domaine Chanson to plant Chardonnay rather than Pinot Noir. Sitting close to the Premier Cru hills of Beaune, it is one of the most unusual and compelling whites in the Côte de Beaune, a wine shaped by the mineral precision of its terroir and the freshness of its elevated position. Pale gold in color, it opens with delicate floral fragrances
