RATINGS

92James Suckling

The nose here is floral and pretty with blue fruit and hints of strawberries. Medium-bodied, firm and tannic with linear acidity that gives the wine drive and substance.

91Wine Spectator

Rich and toasty, offering black cherry, blackberry and spice notes, with a hint of licorice, backed by a lively structure that merges with the tangy fruit on the finish.

91Wine Enthusiast

...rich with red fruits and succulent acidity...

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Scented and sweet-fruited on the nose, so inviting... Firmer and darker on the palate. Persistent...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Santenay

Santenay is the southernmost appellation in the Côte d’Or. The appellation includes the communes of Santenay and Remigny and it has 813 vineyard acres. Both red and white wines can be made within the Santenay appellation, though in practice about 85% of the wine produced here is red. Pinot Blanc may be used in white wines, though most white Santenays are 100% Chardonnay. Though there are no Grands Crus, Santenay boasts 12 Premiers Crus. Among the best Premiers Crus vineyards are Clos de Tavannes, La Comme, Les Gravières and Le Passe Temps. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “good Santenays share a robust, tannic, earthy character with a bouquet that suggests cherry and strawberry fruit intertwined with the smell of sautéed almonds.” Clive Coates has noted that the white wines of Santenay “should be crisp, medium-bodied and fruity, less racy but fuller than Saint-Aubins, perhaps with a touch of spice…”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
