The Savès family has been producing in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy since the end of the 19th century. The house was founded in 1894 by Eugène Savès (sa-VESS) when he married Anïs Jolicoeur, the daughter of a vinegrower in Bouzy. His descendents, Louis, Camille, and now Hervé, have been running the family business ever since. Hervé, now in his 40s, has kept the family wines traditional. His father Camille still gives a helping hand to Hervé from time to time when things get really busy.
The Savès family produces exclusively from their 11 hectares of vines, never buying any additional grapes. The wines are stored in the cellar for at least five years and the harvest yields are very low. Malolactic fermentation is avoided, resulting in wines of great finesse and cut.
