Elegant and balanced beautifully, but way too young. Enjoyed this at St. Elmo Steakhouse in Indy. Beautiful just-ripe cherry fruit, a floral note, stony minerality. Very nice acids. Tannins very soft. This started to open up nicely by the end of the dinner.

Santenay remains among Côte d'Or's best value. This is a fine example. Racy, mineral-hewn red fruit.

Bastille Restaurant. Imported by Michael Corso. Feminine and seductive but dark.

Another steak dinner and another better than expected wine. Well-balanced, but robust barrel and red fruit flavors that come together harmoniously.

As a Burg novice, but experienced Cali Pinot drinker who leans towards burg in style, this is crazy good and accessible. Lovely balanced fruit.
