History

Château de Santenay is one of Burgundy’s largest wine domaines. Its prestigious heritage, which comprises a remarkable Château with a glazed tile roof and 90 hectares of vineyards, is the product of a time-old legacy that is closely tied to the history of the Burgundy wine region. This remarkable château, with its varnished tiles, is a spectacular piece of heritage closely tied to the region’s history. Its vineyards are split between the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise. The diversity of its ‘climats’ results in a rich palette of wines with distinctive styles that reflect the subtleties of the Burgundy varietals.

Vineyard

In the south of the Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet shares with Puligny the undisputed prince of all the dry white wines of creation: the divine Montrachet (pronounced Mon-rachet). This wide and beautiful hillside brings the two Burgundian grape varieties to excellence. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay flourish here side by side due to the complexity of the terroirs.

Vinification

Traditional. Moderate pneumatic pressing. Settling of the musts for 12 hours then full fermentation in 228l barrels. Aging on lees.
