2014  

Chardonnay.

Colour: Pale gold yellow colour with green reflects.
Bouquet: The bouquet is very elegant offering aromas of white flowers and mineral notes, delicately woody.
Palate: On the palate, this is a lively and fresh wine with nice structure and delicate flavors: fruity (citrus), flowery (acacia) and mineral notes. A very racy wine, refined, well balanced and rich with a very long persistancy.

It will keep and can be enjoyed for up to 8 years, or even 10, after the vintage.

Santenay wine is produced in the communes of Santenay and Remigny in Côte de Beaune of Burgundy. The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Santenay may be used for red and white wine with respectively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as the main grape variety.

The production consists of almost 85% red wine, and a little over 15% of white wine. There are just Premier Cru vineyards within the Santenay AOC.

The higher ground is grayish limestone while the slopes lower down are composed of marl and calcareous rock from the middle Jurassic.

Hand-harvested with careful sorting in both vineyard and winery. The grapes are quickly pressed, then cold-settled (8–10°C) in stainless steel tanks. After 24 hours, the clear juices are separated and transferred to oak barrels, where alcoholic fermentation begins with selected Burgundy yeasts at natural cellar temperature. Aged for 11 months on fine lees with regular bâtonnage, including 35% new oak.
