ABOUT THE WINE
With a winemaking heritage dating back to 1453, the Nudant family currently oversees 16 hectares of small vineyard parcels across Burgundy's esteemed Côte d'Or. Embracing minimal intervention, all vineyard work is done by hand, allowing the terroir to express itself fully. The Santenots vineyard lies in the southern part of Volnay, near the village of Meursault. Known for its unique soil composition, Santenots produces wines that are both aromatic and elegant, combining delicate complexity with concentrated depth.
TASTING NOTES
The 2020 Santenots exudes a delicate fragrance of violets and red berries, complemented by a subtle hint of oak. On the palate, enjoy a harmonious blend of spice and red cherry fruit, balanced with remarkable finesse. This wine offers impressive structure for long-term ageing, yet is highly enjoyable now, especially when paired with food.
FOOD PAIRING
This elegant Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with rich dishes, with duck as the classic match. Its balanced acidity and red fruit profile also make it an excellent choice for roasted meats or mushroom-based dishes.
