SAVIGNY-LÈS-BEAUNE
Les Godeaux
This wine has a lovely deep cherry color. Its bouquet features red and black berries (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry). The body is discreetly tannic and full-bodied. Roundness and volume, balance and power in just the right proportions often evoke Morello cherries, with a beautiful elegance.
