Domaine Louis Chenu, Savigny Les Beaune Vieilles Vignes 2019

Throughout the seasons, the family work together growing the vines (pruning, burning vine shoots, tillage, lifting the shoots,
trimming, treatments and green harvesting) and ageing the wines (filling, racking, fining). The harvests are carried out by
hand and last for around a week. Traditional vinification methods are used: The grapes are destemmed, crushed, macerated at cold temperatures for several days and the cap punched down on a daily basis. Fermentation takes place naturally and the vinification temperatures are quite low. The wines are vatted for around 2 weeks before being aged in the cellars for 18 months.

Louis Chenu Père & Filles is a family estate located in Savigny-les-Beaune in Burgundy. The family has been growing vines and ageing wines for five generations. The domain’s first vineyard parcels were purchased in 1914 and are now cultivated by Louis with the help of his wife and daughters. They are committed to respecting the vineyards, producing high quality wines and welcoming visitors to their cellars. Juliette and Caroline have been a part of the team for several years now and play an integral role in developing and optimising the quality of the domain’s wines. All of the vines are planted in the commune of Savigny-les-Beaune, in the Cote de Beaune. They mainly produce Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru wines (Aux Clous, Les Hauts-Jarrons, Les Lavières and Les Talmettes) as well as a very rare white wine from Savigny-les-Beaune Village.
