The 2022 Chorey-les-Beaune Le Grand Saussy from Camus-Bruchon offers a wonderful introduction to the understated charm of this lesser-known appellation in Burgundy’s northern Côte de Beaune. Situated just below the more renowned villages of Aloxe-Corton and Beaune, Chorey-les-Beaune produces wines with a distinctive finesse, and this Pinot Noir is no exception.

This wine is fresh and easy to enjoy, with vibrant red fruit—think cherries and raspberries—on the nose and palate. It’s lighter than some of Burgundy’s heavier reds but still carries the elegance and structure that defines the region. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel without overpowering the delicate fruit profile. It’s a Pinot that strikes a fine balance between approachability and complexity.

What sets this wine apart is its versatility. It’s perfect for pairing with lighter dishes like roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, or even a simple charcuterie platter. Whether you’re new to Burgundy or a long-time fan, Camus-Bruchon’s 2022 Chorey-les-Beaune Le Grand Saussy is a delightful and accessible way to explore the region’s charm.

The village of Savigny-les-Beaune is nestled in a combe, or shallow canyon, between the hills above Beaune and those that include the famous vineyards of Corton. The Le Rhoin stream runs through the town and has some of the most pure, blue, limestone cleaned water I’ve ever seen. Most of the vineyards sit along the hills to the north of the river and face south, instead of the predominantly east facing vineyards that line most of the Cote d’Or.

Due to this exposition and being somewhat hidden from the main road, the wines of Savigny have historically been undervalued. But climate change has been beneficial to these vines, and there have always been excellent producers here. One of the top domaines is Camus-Bruchon, where the very talented young winemaker Guillaume Camus recently took over for his father Lucien, who had been at the helm for 4 decades.

Both Guillaume and Luc are fastidious farmers, everything is done by hand according to sustainable and organic practices. They are blessed with some of the best parcels in Savigny and also some of the oldest vines, many planted by Guillaume’s great-grandmother Reine Joly just before and after WWI. That’s right, some of their vines are now over 100 years old.

In most villages along the Cote d’Or, the top producers with the best vineyards and oldest vines are able to charge triple digits (or even quadruple) for their wines. Not so in Savigny, which is why it is always one of favorite “edges of Burgundy” locales: real deal terroir at prices that you usually don’t find until you get down to the Chalonnaise.

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
