Based in the heart of the Cote de Beaune, the picturesque village of Savigny-les-Beaune has for a long time earned its reputation as a place to find excellent wine. It was here that the monks of Citeaux, the founders of the Burgundian vineyard system, became substantial property owners. In order to administer their vineyards they established a priory in the 16th century, hence the name.
The domaine is owned by Jean-Michel Maurice, the mayor of Savigny, along with his son Stephen, who uses his international experience as winemaker to craft beautiful wines.
