Domaine du Chancelier 2022 Savigny-Lès-Beaune Les Lavières Premier Cru

The young estate of Domaine du Chancelier, run by Elsa & Cédric Ehrhart, is deeply connected to the tradition and history that surrounds it. The cellars and vinification facilities are located in the historic center of Beaune in an 18th-century building that once belonged to the founder of Hospices de Beaune Nicolas Rolin and his wife Guigone de Salins. The selection of this location was deliberate on the part of the Ehrharts as a way to honor the heritage of Burgundy even as they blaze their own path forward. 

Farming is entirely organic, done on a combination of owned land and long-term contracted plots. Whites are barrel fermented, vinified without sulfur and see long lees aging. Importer Notes
