Santenay Beauregard Premier Cru

Beauregard is one of Santenay’s best-situated Premiers Crus, located between the villages of Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet. As its name suggests, it offers a spectacular view of the Saône River plain. Beauregard is vinified with 30% whole bunch fermentation, resulting in a wine with a very complex bouquet and especially silky tannins. It can age gracefully for at least eight years.
