Tasting notes
With a brilliant ruby color, our Santenay 2016 reveals a fresh nose of raspberry. The mouth is elegant and gourmande, offering crisp fruit, cherry and blackcurrant. The tannins are silky with a beautiful persistence.
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.
