Tasting notes
Beautiful white gold color, pretty shiny reflections. Very nice nose, expressive, aromatic. Ripe fruit, apricot with a nice woody nutty note.
The mouth is full-bodied, fat with a nice acid balance, very long. The aromatic palette is complex. The very present fruit blends with beautiful, very elegant woody notes. The whole is well balanced with salty freshness and a nice minerality.
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.
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.
Vineyard
A powerful and qualitative clay soil which communicates strength and elegance to the wine produced. The east orientation on the hillside allows for remarkable maturity.
The estate is resolutely committed to an environmentally friendly path through a code of good practice. The estate has been Terra Vitis certified since 2004 and HVE3 (High Environmental Values ??level 3).
Working the soil by plowing, permanent grassing and the removal of herbicides ensure an active biological life of the soil. Leaf stripping and green harvesting allow yields to be controlled and the plant to be in good health through aeration of the grapes.
Vinification
While Santenay is primarily renowned for its reds, its whites are truly remarkable. Fine and structured, delicate and opulent at the same time, they explode in a complex bouquet and a beautiful minerality.
