Domaine Serrigny Savigny les Beaune Rouge 1er Cru 'Les Peuillets'

Domaine Serrigny dates from the late 19th century. It’s made up of 7 hectares of vines  and is run today by Marie Laure Serrigny. She’s the fourth generation, and she took over the estate in 1995 with her younger sister Francine. They tended the vines, made the wine, and together did all the myriad of things involved in running a domaine until late in 2016 when Francine succumbed to a long battle with cancer.

The domaine has just over two acres of vines in Peuillets ("peu-yā", with a long 'ā') planted in 1965. Like the grapes from Dominode, in riper years only about half the grapes are de-stemmed prior to fermentation. The soil here is much more influenced by limestone and the wine is consequently more mineral and “lifted” in profile than the Dominode. In a good year, production averages 150 cases
