Description
The verb "guetter" means to watch over, a reference to this vineyard's high altitude. The poor soils in this parcel often result in the lowest yields of all the vineyards for the domaine. In the vineyard, grass growth is allowed but limited with regular plowing to maintain a natural soil balance. Moderate use of organic fertilizers and strict pruning to control yields.

The 2021 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravins 1er Cru has a lively, slightly candied bouquet with vibrant red fruit, kirsch and desiccated orange peel. The palate has a strict and quite graphite driven bouquet, linear, a no-messin' Savigny that takes this vintage seriously. The sapid finish means it should reward cellaring. Excellent.
