Tasting Notes
Santenay produces mainly red wine from the Pinot Noir grape. Color is a dark but brilliant black-cherry. The bouquet evokes rose-petals, peony, violet, red fruits and a hint of licorice. In the mouth, the attack is deep and intense. Firm but discreet tannins make for a body that is supple, fine textured and well-built. It boasts back aromas (often of bilberry) and a long finish.
Best Paired With
