Full pear and candied-lemon nose with quite pronounced, yeasty notes from sur-lie maturation and a hint of tarragon. Quite a rich, bold wine for Santenay, but with a cool, slightly herbal side that balances the ripeness very nicely. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

So much freshness and energy in this ripe but focused white Santenay. Quite some citrus-zest character and minerality, which are are intertwined with delicate tannins and bright acidity at the long finish. Another impressive 2019 white Burgundy from a cool, high-altitude vineyard site.
