ORIGIN

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 vineyard of this Premier Cru "Passetemps" is located on the way out of the village toward Chassagne-Montrachet and between the "Les Beaurepaires" and "Les Gravières" plot.
