This Santenay is a classic Pinot Noir with medium body, a soft and supple structure, moderate tannins and a fresh acidity that carries aromas of cherry, blueberry, rose petals and a hint of liquorice. The gentle tannins and elegant structure suit dishes with a fine richness without overpowering them, so veal and light meats are a natural choice, where the fruit plays nicely against the sweetness of the meat. The earthy minerality and fresh acidity also make it an excellent companion to aged cheeses and charcuterie, where the acidity cuts through the richness and brings out the nutty notes. Don't serve it too cold, and preferably in large glasses, so the seductive finish has room to unfold.

About the wine

The pinot noir vines were planted in the early 60s and cover 0.62 hp.

The plot is east facing. The soil is limestone and clay. Hand harvested.

Vinification takes place with natural yeast, on whole grapes, the majority of which are destemmed, approx. 30% whole classes.

Aged in Bourgogne oak barriques, of which 15-20% are new.

A characterful Santenay with the most beautiful intense purple colour.

The aroma is rich with cherries, rose petals and violets, with a slight hint of licorice.

The taste is intense and powerful, while also caressing the palate. Beautiful supple structure and with a long seductive finish with tones of blueberry.

Enjoy in large Bourgogne glasses.
