Santenay
Terroirs
On the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Santenay vineyard extends over 378 hectares, of which 124 produce 1er Crus (11 vineyards). Red wines make up 98% of production. The soils consist of hard limestone and marls. According to their position the slopes face either south or east.
Tasting
The colour is intensely red.
Powerful and rich nose with aromas of black fruits, like blackcurrant and plum. The first taste develops beautiful fruity notes, with flavour of soft spices. An outstanding wine, full of personality, with a strong aromatic bouquet of violet and leather.
Food Matching
Rack of lamb, beef, game, soft cheeses or game.
