Savigny-lès-Beaune Joseph Drouhin 1997
Joseph Drouhin blev grundlagt i 1880 i Beaune og er et af Bourgognes mest velrenommerede vinhuse. Huset drives i dag af fjerde generation af familien og fungerer både som négociant og som ejer af over 80 hektar vinmarker, der strækker sig fra Chablis i nord til Mâconnais i syd. Drouhin har gennem årtier været en konsekvent fortaler for økologisk og biodynamisk vindyrkning i en region, hvor traditionelle metoder ellers længe har domineret.
Vinen stammer fra Savigny-lès-Beaune, som er en kommunal Appellation Contrôlée i Côte de Beaune. Området ligger lige nord for byen Beaune, fik sin AOC-status i 1937 og dækker cirka 350 hektar. Topografien er præget af en sidedal med syd- og sydøstvendte skråninger, hvor vinstokkene vokser i en jordbund af ler og kalk over et grundfjeld af kalksten. Det kontinentale klima giver varme somre og kolde vintre. Årgang 1997 har i dette område opnået en score på 86 point og beskrives som charmerende, men hurtigt udviklet.
I Savigny-lès-Beaune produceres der overvejende rødvine baseret på Pinot Noir, som udgør omkring 90 procent af beplantningerne i appellationen. Området rummer desuden 22 Premier Cru-marker og anerkendes ofte som en undervurderet kilde til klassisk Bourgogne. Vinen er aftappet af Joseph Drouhin og har et alkoholindhold på 13 %.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Burgundy
Burgundy in eastern France was shaped by medieval monks who mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. From Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, the limestone soil yields some of the world's most sought-after and elegant wines.
