Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details

Golden yellow in color, with aromas of lemon citrus, green apple, and white flowers on a woody background. The palate is round and balanced, with good acidity and a lingering finish. This wine is drinking beautifully now, but has the potential to age for several more years.

Producer: Jean Jacques Girard is a family domaine in Burgundy that has been in existence for over 500 years. The domaine is currently managed by Jean-Jacques and his son, Vincent, and they own 15 hectares of vineyards across various appellations in the Côte de Beaune.

Vineyard: The grapes for this wine come from a cooler section of the Savigny-Les-Beaune appellation, high up above the village. The vines are over 30 years old and produce a rich, concentrated wine with fine depth and minerality.

Winemaking: The grapes are hand-harvested and pressed gently. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in oak barrels for 10 months.

Food Pairing: This wine is perfect for pairing with seafood dishes such as lobster or scallops, or for poultry dishes, such as roasted chicken or quail. It is also a good match for creamy cheeses such as Brie and Camembert.

Overall: This is a well-made and delicious Savigny-Les-Beaune Blanc from a respected producer. It is drinking beautifully now, but has the potential to age for several more years.
