Production
Santenay is the most southerly appellation of the Côtes de Beaune. In the ‘Prarons Dessous’ climat on clay/silt soils lies a 2ha parcel of 50 year old Pinot Noir vines, from which this lovely Santenay Rouge is produced. Hand harvested to allow immediate sorting, and fully destemmed, fermentation is in tank before the wine is matured in oak barrels (15% of which are new) for 13 months.
Tasting notes
Expressive, ripe and sweetly - fruited on the nose. The palate offers more fresh berries, fine tannins and concentration with beautiful structure.
Food match
Grilled lamb chops and light game dishes or try it lightly chilled as an apéritif.
