Description
Domaine Lucien Muzard's white Santenay 1er Cru “Les Maladières” is a luminous expression of Burgundy terroir. Situated on a steep, stony hillside facing southeast, this exceptional parcel rests on fissured limestone covered by a thin layer of marl, giving the wine remarkable minerality and freshness. Planted in 2013, the vineyard covers 57 ares and is carefully cultivated: ploughing the soil, de-budding, lifting, leaf-thinning and hand-picking ensure optimal ripeness.
Vinification is meticulous, with complete malolactic fermentation over winter in the estate's underground cellars. Aged for 12 months in 350-liter barrels, this wine brings aromatic complexity and harmonious structure, while respecting the purity of the fruit.
On tasting, this Santenay 1er Cru offers a slight reduction, quickly dissipated to reveal an explosion of citrus, white-fleshed fruit and floral aromas. On the palate, it seduces with its energy and dazzling freshness, balanced by a dense, fleshy texture. Minerality and length on the palate add an elegant dimension to this great wine.
Ideal with shellfish, noble fish or poultry à la crème, this Santenay 1er Cru is best enjoyed within 5 years, when it will have fully revealed all its finesse and aromatic richness. A wine combining precision and generosity, perfect for lovers of great Burgundy whites.
