Santenay

Located at the southern extremity of the Côte de Beaune, Santenay was known in Gallo-Roman times for its hot springs. The source "Santinae aquae" (healing waters) gave the village its name.
The appellation's 830 acres cover the lower slopes of the Mont-de-Sène hill, at altitudes of up to 300 metres where the vines benefit from idea exposure ranging from eastern to southern.

Fine nose featuring notes of red fruit (cherry, strawberry, raspberry...) enhanced by a touch of smoke. Very harmonious, delectable and soft on the palate featuring delicate structure. Long, exceptionally fruity finish.

Food/wine pairing

This Santenay is an ideal wine for elaborate red meat dishes, game and classic cheeses.
