It presents itself with great elegance and charm with precise aromas, imposing but very fine tannins and great length.\n \n Producer Information\n The young and talented David Moreau is definitely one to watch. He had a tough go at it early with his grandfather in the family’s Santenay vineyards. He joined his father straight out of enology school and they didn’t see eye to eye, which led David to broaden his experience at other domaines (like Hubert Lamy!) for some time. Finally after a few years, David received a message from his grandmother who told him that if he’d like to take over the estate, now is the time as his grandfather was going to retire and either sell or pass it on to him. David accepted on one condition: he wanted complete control over everything. The answer was yes and the rest will be written in the family history books. At the top of David’s list was the conversion to organic farming. The cellar craft was more patiently executed and the elevage more observed to better understand the strength of each vineyard site. His wines are clean and pure, void of faults and honestly made. They lead with savory earth and soft red flowers, followed by charming red and black fruits. They are special wines and deserve to be enjoyed as food with your dinner. Historically known for its natural hot springs, this charming “spa-town†makes up the southern end of the Côte de Beaune. The reds from Pinot Noir are the most important in the appellation, making up 75% of the production; of course, Chardonnay makes up the rest. A relatively new appellation, recognized in 1970, combined with the skyrocketing prices in the Côte d’Or, Santenay is beginning to make a name for itself as a good quality, better-valued Burgundy.
