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.

The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a heathy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.

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 and silt on the lower parts of the area. We blend the grapes from several plots, to combine structure, fruit quality and elegance.
