From vines located in the lieu-dit of Le Chainey in the southern sector of Santenay quite high on the slope adjoining 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau. The wine is aged in 30% new barrels. This shows fine bright sour cherry aromatics with super fine tannins and striking finesse and wonderfully fresh crunchy fruit. So attractive now.
Pale crimson colour. A light and pleasing fruit which perhaps doesn’t quite carry through to the finish. A little fresh orange and a peppery note at the back. Does persevere in the end.
