Red berries compote w/ animalistic savory & spicy notes. Meat pasties flavor. Elegant medium body w/ silky unseen tannins. Great example of underrated village appellation of Santeney which is close in style to Rully or Mercurey. 45 yrs old vines. Hand picked destemmed grapes put into concrete tanks, cold maceration for 10 days, maceration for 8 days. After the press wine is racked & blended, the wine is put in barriques (10% new) for 15 mo, MLF. 75K bottles produced annually by this family domaine. Rating 3,9/5
