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.
