- PhilosophySantenay, southernmost gem of the Côte de Beaune is renowned not only for its superb wines but also for its healing thermal waters. In this unique terroir, white wines make up a mere 5% of Santenay's production, making our Santenay Blanc a true rarity. The diverse soils of the region, ranging from limestone to marl and clay, impart a distinct character and complexity to the wine. This mosaic of terroirs contributes to the wine's refined minerality and vibrant freshness, capturing the essence of Santenay's rich landscape.
- TerroirThis cuvée comes from a plot located on the northern border of Santenay just below the Premier Cru Morgeot appellation in the village of Chassagne-Montrachet. The soils are deep and rich in hard limestone and red clay. The south-eastern exposure of the vines is ideal for the good maturity of the grapes.
- Vinfication and ageingThe grapes are harvested by hand at perfect maturity. They are then brought back to the vat room where they are carefully sorted in order to keep only the most beautiful bunches. A pressing is then made from the whole harvest. Fermentation took place in very fine-grained French oak barrels from Center France (22% new barrels). Some light stirring during the fermentation phase was carried out. Aging on fine lees lasts 13 months.
- Tasting notesLovely golden yellow color. The initial nose reveals a beautiful maturity with scents of yellow peach, nectarine, and acacia honey, complemented by delicate woody notes (freshly sawn oak) and vegetal hints (almond). There are lovely nuances of spring flowers (hyacinth) and late winter flowers (snowdrop, narcissus) that bring a pleasant freshness. The nostalgic aroma of caramelized peanuts emerges. Round and rich, the palate reveals a well-integrated acidity and extends into indulgent flavors of cherry and lemon candy. The mouthfeel shows a remarkable structure, combining liveliness and lightness. An expressive and mature wine, full of pleasure.
