2022 Château de la Crée Santenay Premier Cru Clos Faubard

Grey limestone covers the higher part of the hillsides, up to an altitude of 500 meters. Down the hill, we find oolitic limestone, white oolite, marl and limestone nodules and inferior oolite on marly levels up to an altitude of 300 meters. The vineyard is perfectly exposed to the sun (from sunrise to noon).

The nose is elegant, with notes of wood and red berries as well as smooth hints of dried flowers, almonds, leather, and coffee. The mouth is round and the tannins coat the palate. Red berries reappear. The finish is persistent, highly mineral, with great aromatic intensity and notes of graphite.

Santenay

The wines of Santenay exhibit distinct characteristics stemming from their specific terroirs within the appellation. Established in 1937, the Santenay AOC status underscores the area's viticultural significance. The terroir comprises grayish limestone dominating the higher elevations up to 500 meters, transitioning into oolitic limestones, marls, and other geological formations lower down the slope. This diverse landscape, coupled with an optimal vineyard exposure ranging from east to south, contributes to the quality and complexity of the wines produced in the region. We have been proud owners of Santenay vineyards since 2015, bringing innovation to the rich heritage of the land and wines.
