CHATEAU DE SANTENAY - "La Comme" Santenay 1er Cru - Burgundy
Chateau de Santenay / Domaine du Chateau Philippe Le Hardi - "La Comme" Santenay 1er Cru, Burgundy - France
Beautiful robe, heavy deep with beautiful garnet reflections. The nose is concentrated, powerful on notes of red fruits (strawberry - cherry) very fresh and very ripe. The mouth is full, unctuous with very melted tannins. One finds the freshness of the red fruits marries well with perfectly dosed wood. A treat of balance and length for this delicate and powerful wine. A wine of beautiful future.

Vineyard Info
The estate of Domaine du Chateau Philippe Le Hardi (formerly known as Château de Santenay) is spread over an area of 90 ha ( 222 acres) stretching from the southern vineyards of Mercurey in Côte Chalonnaise up to the Grand Cru of Clos des Vougeot in Cote de Nuits. The castle was once the residence of the Duke of Burgundy Philippe Le Hardi (Philippe the Bold) ( 1342-1404) who was the first and foremost ambassador of Burgundy and its great wines. A third of our estate is located in the Côte d’Or with vineyards in Aloxe-Corton, Beaune 1er Cru, St Aubin, Pommard, and... Santenay of course and the rest is located in the up and coming appellation of Mercurey. The estate was converted to sustainable farming in 2004, Terra-vitis certified. We apply practices which respect the environment and don’t use herbicides pesticides, or artificial chemicals. Our goal is to maintain life in the soil and allow each plot’s terroir to express itself in the wines produced there. To this day, Pinot noir is still the grape used for all burgundy’s flagship red wines.
A powerful and qualitative clay soil that communicates strength and elegance to the wine. East Orientation of the hillside provides a remarkable maturity. Our good farming practices allow us to be certified "Quality France" and "Terra Vitis". Work soil by tillage, permanent grass cover and removing herbicides provide a biologically active soil life. The thinning and green harvesting allow the control of the yield and maintain good health of the plant by aerating the clusters.
