Elegant, fragrant and beautifully refined, Cornu-Camus Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Charnières is a wonderful expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy's celebrated Côte de Beaune. Enticing aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry are complemented by delicate notes of violet, woodland earthiness and subtle spice. The palate is silky yet beautifully structured, with vibrant red fruit, fine tannins and refreshing acidity providing excellent balance. Gentle savoury complexity and a lingering, graceful finish reflect the quality of this Premier Cru vineyard. Combining the elegance of Savigny-lès-Beaune with additional depth and concentration, this is a sophisticated red Burgundy that pairs beautifully with roast duck, game birds, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, roast lamb and mature cheeses.

Domaine Cornu-Camus is a family-owned winery in Echevronne, a village in the Côte d’Or region of Burgundy, France. The Cornu family has been growing grapes in this area since the 13th century, but it was Pierre Cornu who started to estate-bottle the wine in the late 1970s. He married Bernadette Camus, another winemaker, and together they expanded the domaine to about 30 acres of vineyards. Their daughter Lydia joined them in 2007, after studying enology at Beaune, and brought her husband Christophe Pertuzot, who had worked at Domaine Leroy. They now manage the domaine together, producing classic Burgundy wines.

Pinot Noir (100%)

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered red grape varieties, known for its ability to express site with clarity and finesse. Typically showing red and dark cherry fruit, floral notes and subtle earthiness, it is light to medium bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Styles range from delicate and aromatic to more structured and concentrated, depending on climate and winemaking approach.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
