Description
Santenay is the most southerly village in the Cote de Beaune and produces both red and white wines. The red wines from Santenay are reputed to be tannic and well-structured. They say of Santenay that the wines have the soul of Volnay and the body of Pommard.
Tasting notes
With a beautiful ruby red color our Santenay Rouge 2015 offers a gourmet nose of strawberry, blackcurrant, violet and candied fruit. The palate is round and fruity. Fresh notes of cherry and undergrowth. A delicious wine with supple tannins.
