Very dark robe. Young nose expressing notes of black fruit (cherry, plum), chocolate and leather. The palate is dense and round. The tannins are soft and provide a velvety structure. A well-balanced wine with a natural freshness.
Wine maker notes
Unusually for the Côte d’Or the system of pruning employed by the growers of Santenay is the Cordon Royat rather than the simple Guyot. The producers argue that the increased richness of the soil in their vineyards needs to be compensated for by not overly burdening the vines by keeping them young and vigorously pruned. They produce admirable, lively wines, with a very abundant and special bouquet reminiscent of strawberry and cherry.
