Santenay
Rouge
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 calcareous limestone on the slopes, with more clay and silt on the lower parts of the area. We blend the grapes from several plots (Les Crais et Les Prarons Dessus), to combine structure, fruit quality and elegance.
