Savigny-lès-Beaune: at the heart of the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne

Between Beaune and the Montagne de Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune stretches out peacefully in the hollow of two hills, surrounded by vineyards that undulate like a sea of green. On the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne in the Côte-d’Or, this wine-growing village combines heritage, conviviality and tradition with disarming charm. Here, wine is more than an art: it’s a way of living in the world, a heritage handed down from generation to generation.

Getting there

A village with a taste of history

Savigny began in the Middle Ages. The lords built a castle, the monks planted vines and the village prospered in the shadow of its towers. The etymology says it all: “Savigny” comes from Sabinius, the Gallo-Roman who founded the village. And history continues to flow through the stone of the medieval castle, the wash-houses, the ancient bridges and the narrow streets lined with winegrowers’ houses. Even today, the Romanesque church, footpaths and estates tell the story of a village where life is lived to the rhythm of the seasons and the wine.
