In 1940, Jeans great-grandson, Auguste Ropiteau purchased the current Meursault cellars and a property in the Hospice de Beaune which he acquired for a modest price as it was a time when fine wine sales were hardly favourable. This proved to be a great success, and before long the Ropiteau name became synonymous with the grand Meursault. By acquiring a remarkable patchwork of some of the finest parcels or climats within the Golden Triangle, Ropiteau Frères has become a specialist in Côte de Beaune and most notably in Meursault. The wines display all the hallmarks of fine Burgundy expressing the nuances of the climats from this renowned terroir.

The Savigny has an aromatic bouquet of floral notes, lemon and grapefruit underpinned by buttery, brioche notes leads to a light, fresh palate with a touch of spice. International Wine Challenge 2024 Gold Medal
