RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Saturated with black cherry and blackberry fruit, this is a solidly built, linear red. Focused and vibrant, with elements of earth, spice and mineral chiming in. Converges on the fresh, precise finish.

93Wine Enthusiast

...rich, muscular expressions of Santenay and this full-bodied, densely concentrated red fits true to type. Black-cherry and plum flavors are pristine and ripe but framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a rigid...elegant, structured wine with a perfumed black-tea finish...

89-91The Wine Advocate

...scents of raspberries, plums, warm spices and toasty oak. Medium-bodied, fleshy and flavorful, it's deep and nicely concentrated, concluding with youthfully chewy tannic grip.

89-91Vinous / IWC

...crisp and edgy on the nose...palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, a rounded texture and good depth. Red plum and cranberry sauce, and a little white pepper sprinkled over a quite tender finish.

REGION

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

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, 1er (Premier) Cru

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.
