ORIGINLocated at the southern tip of the Côte de Beaune, the Santenay appellation spans the communes of Santenay and Remigny, offering wines with varied profiles depending on the slope exposure. The vineyard extends over 330 hectares, including 120 hectares of Premier Cru across three distinct zones.
Santenay Premier Cru Beauregard is among the appellation’s most esteemed climats. Situated near the vineyards of Chassagne-Montrachet, its name, meaning “beautiful view,” reflects its elevated position overlooking the Saône plain. Planted with Chardonnay, the old vines thrive in a stony clay-limestone soil, contributing to the finesse and character of the wines.
VINIFICATION AND MATURINGHarvested by hand, the grapes are sorted and then quickly pressed before being rapidly transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for cold settling, followed, after 24 hours, by racking to extract the clear juice laden with fine lees. These juices are transferred directly to oak barrels where alcoholic fermentation begins under the influence of selected Burgundy yeasts. Ageing continues for 12 months in these barrels (35% of which are new) and on fine lees with regular stirring to ‘nourish’ the wine.
