Description
Château de Santenay is one of the largest wine-producing estates in Burgundy. This prestigious property, consisting of the Château with its remarkable glazed tile roof and a 98 hectare vineyard, is the fruit of an ancient heritage intimately linked to the history of wine production in Burgundy.
Philippe le Hardi (Philip the Bold) son of King Jean le Bon of France (John the Good) was the most illustrious owner of Château de Santenay. A brilliant politician, Philippe le Hardi began a magnificent chapter in the history of Burgundy, founding the Valois of Burgundy dynasty, which would reign for over a century.
Assembled over the course of the twentieth century, through various purchases and inheritances, the estate consists of a mosaic of plots on the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise. Thanks to this diversity of “climats”(small plots of vines) the château produces a wide variety of wines whose nuances and subtlety result from the unique geology.

Rated 94 by Wine Enthusiast
A powerful wine that has bold tannins and a good future, this is rich and densely structured. Black fruits, acidity and textured concentration go with the dry core of the wine. It will age, and is not going to be ready to drink until 2024. (Cellar Selection)

A rich, dark garnet in color, the Clos de Vougeot offers powerful and concentrated black fruit aromas with an elegant touch of oak. On the palate, flavors of black cherry and black berry fruits are complemented by a subtle spiciness with a long finish.
