The grapes come from the vineyards from the village of Santenay in the Cte de Beaune, where Vincent Girardin is born. This is a historic wine and flagship one from the Maison Vincent Girardin. The vines are 45+ years old.
The soil is clay and mostly limestone. Gentle sloping. Despite the fact that the vineyards are in the south of the Cote de Beaune, the terroirs are in fact very similar for Gevrey Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits. Hand-picked, partially de-stemmed and softly pressed.
Post fermentation the wine is places into French oak casks (15% new) and after malolactic fermetation aged on fine lees for 14 months. No fining and filtering. The Santenay is a well-built wine. Its bouquet is of strawberry where the old vintages are characterized by chestnut and dried plum. Drinks beautifully with roasted meats, game and various cheeses.
