Santenay

From the water nymph to the god of wine, Santenay benefits from a dual vocation, thermal and wine-growing. In the very south of the Côte de Beaune, in this town and in Remigny in the continuity of the terroir, this wine presents sensitive nuances depending on the hillside.

From tears of rain to tears of wine, a year as trying as it is moving! 2024 will be remembered… Marked by record rainfall and omnipresent humidity, it put winegrowers to the test. Despite vigilance and hard work in the vines, mildew took over, strongly impacting yields. Significant disparities appeared between terroirs: more draining soils were better able to resist disease pressure. Fortunately, after harvest, the quality of the wines came as a nice surprise. Freshness and radiance are there, offering a precious reward after a season of challenges.

Vineyard

Located at the South border of la Côte de Beaune, the village of Santenay is very sprawling. The soils are brown and limestone. It is a small blended cuvée from three plots on the hillside: Les Bras, Sous la fée and Sous Roche.
