The grapes come from the "Le Beauregard" Premier Cru parcel of 45-year-old vines, farmed without herbicides, fermented with some stems and with ambient yeasts, then aged in mostly older oak in the village of Santenay in the south of the Cote de Beaune. The wine buzzes with energy, a hive of raspberry and pomegranate flavor, saturated without weight. The tannins add some youthful green stemminess and gamey depths, setting this up with the structure to age five years or more. It’s notably grand for a Santenay premier cru.
