Savigny-lès-Beaune, Les Jarrons is 9.35-hectare Premier Cru climat in the wine commune Savigny-lès-Beaune, situated in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The vineyard is located in the Beaune sector of Savigny, south of the Rhoin River on the hillside descending from Mont Battois. Specifically, La Dominode lies uphill from Les Narbantons, and downhill, north of Les Peuillets. La Dominode (which is entitled to its own appellation and Premier Cru status) forms a majority 7.89-hectare piece of Les Jarrons; excluding the La Dominode piece, Les Jarrons comprises only 1.46 hectares. Facing east, northeast from an elevation of 260 meters, the soil is sandy with some fine gravel and a bit of red clay.
The Knights of St. John of Jerusalem acquired 10 oevreés of Les Jarrons in 1665. The name, Les Jarrons, derives from a French word referring to the branches of a tree.

A low qualitative yield of 39hl/ha for our Clos Blanc, means that this 2006 vintage will offer up to 39 barrels. Finally the day ends lower down only a few hundred metres away in our large parcel of Vougeot Clos du Prieure9, for the white part of this vineyard that is a bi-coloured monopole. A different terroir despite the proximity, that’s the complexity of Burgundy!
