Santenay Commes Premier Cru 2022

Tasting Note 

Rich purple-ruby in colour, the wine offers generous aromas of ripe red fruits, led by blackcurrant, with a subtle mineral lift. The palate is silky and finely textured, with delicate fruit supported by sharp yet elegant tannins, giving precision and finesse to the finish.

The name “Commes” comes from the word “Combe” (Coomb), indicating that this Premier Cru from Santenay is planted on a steep slope, benefiting from a very warm microclimate. Commes is renowned for being one of the finest Premiers Crus of Santenay. It can age gracefully for at least eight years.
