Meursault Santenots AOC

What Makes the Meursault Santenots Terroir Unique?

The Santenots vineyard is a geographical phenomenon. Although it is located within the territory of the Meursault village, the red wines originating from here are designated as Volnay Santenots, while the whites, made from Chardonnay, bear the Meursault Santenots AOC name. The higher clay and limestone content in the soil gives the white wines exceptional viscosity, structure, and longevity, all while maintaining the characteristic Meursault creaminess.

Aroma and Flavor Palette

• The glass is dominated by aromas of white peaches, citrus fruits, almonds, and fresh hazelnuts.
• Matured in oak, the wine acquires subtle notes of butter, honey, and toasted bread.
• On the palate, it is viscous and rich, yet it maintains balanced acidity and a mineral finish.

Food Pairing Suggestions

The powerful and elegant Meursault Santenots white wine is a perfect choice for a grand dinner. It pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, lobster in butter sauce, or white fish. Aged cow's milk cheeses and luxurious wine snacks are also an ideal match for this wine. It makes an exceptional gift for a true wine collector.
