Maison Patriarche, founded in Beaune in 1780, is one of Burgundy's oldest négociant houses, operating from a 17th-century former convent whose five kilometres of vaulted cellars hold one of the region's most storied collections. Savigny-lès-Beaune occupies the Rhoin valley between the Corton hill and the city of Beaune, its two opposing slopes resting on Bathonian limestone with reddish ferruginous clay. The appellation is medium-bodied and discreetly tannic, with characteristic notes of cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant and violet.
The 2017 vintage was harvested early in the Côte de Beaune. Aged approximately ten to twelve months in oak.
Maison Patriarche Savigny-lès-Beaune 2017
Este vino tinto proviene de la región de Borgoña, Francia, específicamente de la denominación Savigny-lès-Beaune. Es elaborado por Maison Patriarche, una de las casas negociantes más antiguas de la zona, fundada en Beaune en 1780 y radicada actualmente en el antiguo convento de las Visitandinas, donde cuenta con cinco kilómetros de galerías abovedadas. La casa selecciona uvas de viticultores de toda la región, trabajando con la variedad Pinot Negro.
El origen del vino es el valle del Rhoin, situado entre la colina de Corton y la ciudad de Beaune. Los viñedos de Savigny-lès-Beaune presentan dos laderas con características distintas: la norte, orientada al sur, ofrece vinos más ligeros y aromáticos, mientras que la sur, orientada al norte, genera vinos más estructurados. El suelo de esta zona se compone de caliza Bathoniense y arcilla ferruginosa rojiza. Las uvas seleccionadas de esta área producen vinos de carácter intermedio, descritos como más ligeros que los de Pommard pero comparables en peso a los de Beaune.
La vendimia de la añada 2017 se realizó de forma temprana en la Côte de Beaune. Tras la cosecha, el vino ha tenido una crianza de 10 a 12 meses en barrica de roble. En términos organolépticos, el perfil esperado incluye notas de cereza, frambuesa y violeta, junto con taninos discretos.

Jean-Baptiste Patriarche founded the house in Beaune in 1780 and shortly afterwards made the purchase that still defines it: the convent of the Visitandines, a seventeenth-century building whose underground galleries he turned into a cellar. Those cellars are still the headquarters and are the largest in Burgundy, holding several million bottles; some of the galleries date from the thirteenth century.
The founder looked for buyers abroad from the outset: he was exporting to Great Britain, the Netherlands and Belgium when that was far from usual. The house then passed through hands that each gave it a push: Léonce Bocquet, around 1850, brought it to the courts of Europe; André Boisseaux, from 1940, made it one of Burgundy's major names; and in 1955 Georges Kritter created Kriter, the sparkling wine brand. Since 2011 it has belonged to Pierre Castel, who has invested in the cellars.
It is worth placing it correctly: Patriarche is a négociant house, not a domaine. Its trade is buying, ageing and bottling wine from Burgundy's appellations rather than farming each parcel itself.
