Wine Spectator 90pt

There's some breadth to this white, with flavors of peach, apple tart, butter, vanilla and clove. Bright and balanced, picking up a salty note on the finish.

An excellent alternative to some of its more illustrious neighbours of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet, this completely satisfying Santenay has a pale gold colour. It is medium-bodied with aromas of pears and peaches with light dried fruit characters. Sophisticated, with balanced acidity, this wine boasts a surprising depth of flavour and a persistent length.
