Tasting notes
This white Santenay captivates through its lively bouquet and vibrant fruit aromas. With bright energy and a refined balance, it offers aromas of ripe fruits, stone fruits and fruit drops. A sapid and generous finish stretches across notes of citrus and exotic fruits.
The Vineyard
Located on the heights of Santenay, the “Beaurepaire” Climat stretches across a steep slope facing southeast. The dark brown soil includes sandy clay and rocks. This Climat, considered one of the appellation’s best and classified as Premier Cru, is the maker of tense, precise, and elegant white wines.
The Vintage
2022 is synonymous with a vintage of great quality and the return of satisfying volumes.
After a mild and dry winter, the growing season arrived early. Spared by the April frost, the warm spring accelerated plant growth, favoring early flowering and optimal fruit set. After particularly dry spells during winter and spring, late June rains were timely. A hot, dry and at times scorching summer allowed for a good ripening, although in places the vines did react to hydric stress.
Mid-August rainfall will be decisive by constant sunshine until the harvests, which started on 25th August in the Côte de Beaune and 2nd September in the Côte de Nuits.
