The wine region of Santenay
Southernmost cru of the Cote de Beaune: signature Pinot Noir as king red (~80%) — ruby robe with notes of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, wild strawberry, violet and a hint of spice, supple tannins and a generous finish, more accessible than its northern neighbours. Chardonnay as a broad white (citrus, apple, almond, honey, white flowers). AOC (1937), ~330 ha on Santenay and Remigny, 12 Premiers Crus (Les Gravieres, La Comme), limestone marls, ages 4-10 years.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
