The southernmost village within the Côte d’Or, Santenay is located just south of Chassagne-Montrachet. Nestled in the heart of Santenay-le-Haut, its western exposure, old vines, and terroir of gravelly clay soil and sandy subsoil produce concentrated Pinot Noirs of great structure and density, with dark fruits and a hallmark spiciness.

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.
