Santenay
This is the southernmost appellation in the Côte d’Or, located just to the south of Chassagne-Montrachet …
Origin
Santenay’s vineyards stretch across 400 ha of which 123 ha are planted with Premier Cru vines, divided into 3 distinct zones. The village appellation forms a sort of belt that surrounds the Premiers Crus. Veins of brown soil, mixed in with limestone resurface to the south of Chassagne-Montrachet in the direction of Santenay, just as in Gevrey-Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits.
Our Santenay comes mainly from the northern sector of the appellation, whose climat is "Les Champs Claude", located at the bottom of the hill with a slight slope and under the appellation "Chassagne-Montrachet".
