WINE DESCRIPTION

Château de Santenay Chassagne-Montrachet is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Château de Santenay winery. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation, known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions. The vineyards are situated on gentle slopes with limestone-rich soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with a rich bouquet of citrus and floral notes, balanced by a crisp acidity and a long, lingering finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Château de Santenay Chassagne-Montrachet is a gorgeous white Burgundy with an intense bouquet of fresh citrus, lemon zest, and spring flowers.On the palate, it is full-bodied and creamy, with a complex structure and lingering flavors of honey, pear, and spice. Its great balance and lively acidity make it a perfect accompaniment for fish, white meats, or creamy cheeses.
