    This Santenay over-delivers with a sleek texture, elegant structure and savory grace. It has the immediacy of breathing the scent of a rose bed, a scent that surrounds the smooth tannins and seems to ameliorate their grip. From a grower’s parcel at the upper reaches of this cru, this wine has a beautiful purity.

    COMMENTARY: The 2019 Remoissenet Père & Fils Santenay Rouge Premier Cru Grand Clos Rousseau is a top-level Burgundy worthy of its premier cru status. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of pure, ripe, red, and black fruit. Pair it with a well-seasoned roast leg of lamb. (Tasted: September 15, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Remoissenet Pere et Fils, France

Remoissenet Père et Fils owns some 100 acres of prime vineyards, which it tends according to biodynamic principles (yet is not certified). And as a micro-négociant, it purchases grapes not by quantity but by quality. This ensures the estate obtains the finest and healthiest grapes, regardless of vintage conditions. Reds are destemmed, fermented on indigenous yeasts in open-top fermenters and aged in large, 350L barrels. The percentage of new oak depends on the cru, with up to 30% for villages wines; from 30% to 70% for premier crus; and from 70% to 100% for grand crus. Reds are neither fined nor filtered. Whites are pressed and fermented on indigenous yeasts, with barrel selection ranging from 30% new for villages wines to 100% new for grand crus.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Santenay Wine

Cote de Beaune, Burgundy

View all products

In the far southern end of the Côte de Beaune, Santenay forms a little notch that juts into the otherwise straight border with Côte Chalonnaise.

Santenay red wines show the true essence of red Burgundy at good price points and without demanding a lot of cellar time. Enticing aromas of rose-petal, violet, red fruits and licorice lead to sturdiness on the palate. With soils rich in oolitic limestone and marl, this is the home of well-constructed, hearty Pinot noir and represents a fantastic region to explore if you are just beginning your understanding of red Burgundy.

Reputable vineyards of Santenay include La Maladière, as well as the Premier Crus of La Comme, Clos de Tavannes, and Les Gravières.
