About

This Santenay Vieilles vignes is a wine made from Pinot Noir grapes. The wines of this appellation offer red and black fruit aromas, spicy notes and a fine structure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this the most obvious choice if I’m looking for a very light red?

The description highlights a lovely structure, suggesting that it should not be chosen solely for its lightness. However, this reference applies to wines from the appellation in general: no tasting note specific to this bottle indicates its level of intensity.

Is the “Vieilles Vignes” (“Old Vines”) designation enough to choose this cuvée for its concentration?

No: the designation appears in the name, but no details are provided about the age of the vines or the wine’s concentration. On its own, it therefore does not allow you to conclude that the wine has a denser or more powerful style.

How does it compare with the Santenay premier crus offered in the catalog?

This cuvée is classified under the village appellation, unlike Clos des Gravières, Beaurepaire, and Clos Rousseau, which are presented as premier crus. This distinction helps situate the bottles, but is not enough to determine which one you will enjoy more, depending on your tastes.

What should I pay attention to when tasting it, beyond the fruity aromas?

Notice the presence of spicy notes and how the structure complements the fruit. These are the other points highlighted in the appellation description, though there is no guarantee that they will all come through with the same intensity in this 2021.

What would be the benefit of tasting it alongside the Santenay Billard 2021?

It would make it possible to compare two estates from the same appellation and vintage. However, the information provided does not allow you to predict how their styles differ, so it is best to approach this comparison without assuming in advance that one is more refined or powerful than the other.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
