Santenay Comme-Dessus 2023

Tasting Note 

Pale gold with flashes of lemon, the bouquet is layered with honey, toasted bread, and exotic fruit. The palate is round and supple, lifted by a touch of vanilla, with balance achieved through the hallmark richness of Santenay wines and a refreshing line of acidity.

The white Santenay from our domain is made in the “lieu-dit” “Les Commes Dessus”, near Santenay Beauregard and Santenay Commes, in the eastern part of Santenay, just 500 metres from Chassagne-Montrachet. Facing southeast, the area is ideal for producing exceptional Chardonnay wines.
