Santenay

Rouge

From the water nymph to the god of wine, Santenay benefits from a dual vocation, spa and wine. Santenay has effectively become Santenay les Bains, a small spa town in the south of the Côte d'Or; its waters are rich in lithine.

Vineyard

Located at the South border of la Côte de Beaune, the village of Santenay is very sprawling. The soils are brown calcareous limestone on the slopes, with more clay on the lower parts of the area. We blend the grapes from several plots, to combine structure, fruit quality and elegance.
