A Timeless Expression In Napa Vallay Chardonnay!

With its beautiful pale yellow color with golden reflections, this wine reveals aromas of fresh citrus fruits, lemon zest, white flowers and some smoky notes. The palate is slightly salty, with a little fat and a salivating finish.

Beaune is the winegrowing capital of the region and has played an important role in Burgundian history.  The vine, from very fine stock, producing low yields. The soil is essentially on marl-limestone rock, quite light soil allowing for the wine to evolve with great finesse.

The bouquet on this 2017 is truly stunning; it’s ripe yet fresh and savory. Aromas of barrel spice, mineral tones, and crunchy berries flow off the rim. The body is dark with cherry notes, tobacco leaves, and a line of acidity throughout. The tannins are tightly knit and show longevity in the wine. Enjoy now, or hold for 15+ years. The artistic approach to this wine is beautiful, and the winemaking is on-point. Small production yields small allocations. Jump on this one quick.

TASTING NOTES

The color is ruby red. The very airy nose exudes charming aromas of blackberries, cherry stones and spices with some notes of mocha. On the palate, this elegant and fresh wine reveals a beautiful silky structure!

ORIGIN

Between Beaune and Volnay are the vast vineyards of Pommard, extending out on either side of a monumental coomb. This gives rise to two types of wine: from vines grown on the hill on the Beaune side, and from those originating in the slopes and ‘plunging’ down towards Volnay.

This wine is a blend of two opposite plots: 50 % « En brescul », Beaune side and 50% « la Combotte » Volnay side. - « En Brescul » is located up the hill and very steep slope. This funny name, diminutive of "Straighten-ass" refers to the heavily leaned position of the vine growers working in these steep plots.
« la Combotte » : Located below the "Vaumuriens" at the bottom of the hill, this climate presents a hollow relief . The name refers to the combe.

TASTING NOTES

With a beautiful ruby ​​color, this wine surprises with its first intense nose of violets. It then reveals intense aromas of red berries and pepper. On the palate, it is very fresh in attack, a juicy wine with a very good length.

ORIGIN

Contrary to its name, “Les Santenots” is not located in the village of Volnay, but in Meursault, just to the south. Though best known for its white wines, certain terroirs, such as Les Santenots, located mid-hill, happen to be better adapted to bringing out all the finesse the Pinot Noir grape has to offer.
Several hypotheses exist concerning the name of this locality: "Santenots" may come from the Latin SENTES "brambles, thorny bushes". It may also be derived, as was the name of the village of Santenay, from the Gaulish SENTU "way" (alluding to the roads that passed through there to link Auxey-Duresses with the Roman road). It could also refer to 2 “ouvrées” (=1/12 hectare) of vines in La Sautenot (that could have been located in the Les Santenots area), that the Abbess of the Tart Abbey gave to the Abbey of Cîteaux in 1218.
