This micro parcel of vines (0.13 ha) is unique in that it is planted on stony soil with a poor subsoil. The vines suffer as a result, producing a very intense wine.
On the nose, the wine exhales aromas of black fruit, blackberry, blackcurrant and violet against a woody background. On the palate, the attack is frank, followed by a ball of rich, taut, elegant substance. This wine is driven by minerality and fine, smooth tannins perfectly coated by the fruit. The finish is dense and persistent.

Description
This small parcel of 0.09ha can be considered the opposite of "Ronceret". The 'Santenots' soil is composed of stony, brown clay on a deep bedrock base.
This allows the vine to sink its roots deep into the soil. In the glass, this translates into a spicy, fruity wine with hints of smoky and toasty flavours that give it all its complexity. The structure is fine, dense and very pleasantly round.
