Aux Guettes is an extensive vineyard lying at the northern edge of Savigny of which 33.5 acres, nearly all its area, are classified premier cru. The name, related to the verb "guetter," meaning "to watch over," may have to do with this vineyard's position high on the slope. Exposed due south, its iron-rich soils yield ripe, substantial, yet stylish wines. Domaine Gagey is proprietor of 6.5 acres in this cru planted predominantly to Pinot Noir Tasted: 16 November 2010Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $47.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
