Description
Named after the depression on the slope that starts at Saint-Aubin and runs through Santenay, this vineyard faces southeast. This wine, one of the flagships of the producer, is structured with firm tannins and generous black fruits. Its acidity and crisp cherry flavors combine with the structure to promise aging.
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.
