At first quite earthy and a little bit wild, this youthful Santenay needs some aeration for the sour-cherry fruit to emerge. At once ripe and supple, with a healthy base of rather fine tannins. Quite some earthy complexity at the long finish. Drink or hold.
Santenay is the most southerly village in the Côte de Beaune and produces both red and white wines. The red wines from Santenay are reputed to be tannic and well-structured. Santenay is said to have the soul of Volnay and the body of Pommard.
With a brilliant ruby color, the Santenay reveals a fresh nose of raspberry. The mouth is elegant and gourmande, offering crisp fruit, cherry, and blackcurrant. The tannins are silky with a beautiful persistence.
