Santenay Clos de Malte 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
This superb vineyard, acquired in 1993, sited on an amphitheater-like plot near the top of the slop of En la Fée is approximately 85% pinot noir and 15% chardonnay. This vineyard yields both a seductive red and a unique, earthy white wine.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
Clos de Malte red presents aromas of dried flowers, tobacco and mossy earth with a seductive and generous texture. There is a delicacy and elegance making this wine highly versatile with refined cuisines.

About the Grape
Pinot Noir
In France, makes a silky, deceptively powerful wine of elegant, complex aromas and subtle, red fruit flavors, with earthy, floral, mushroom and mineral notes. In California, shows ripe, sweet characters.
