This wine uses 100% Rousanne grapes, which is rare in itself and usually part of a blend. Very expressive wine, notes of white flowers on the nose, with a slight salinity and lots of fat on the palate. Develops great depth and complexity with age

The nose features delicate scents of white flowers, citrus and exotic fruits. The palate is full bodied and rich, and also boasts minerality with saline accents, lending freshness and energy to the overall tasting experience.
Description
Description
Located at the southern extremity of the Côte de Beaune, Santenay was known in Gallo-Roman times for its hot springs. The source "Santinae aquae" (healing waters) gave the village its name.
The appellation's 830 acres cover the lower slopes of the Mont-de-Sène hill, at altitudes of up to 300 meters where the vines benefit from idea exposure ranging from eastern to southern.
Although the wines are red for the most part, some terroirs are well-suited to the cultivation of Chardonnay grapes, which yield precise, elegant wines.
