From behind its pale lemon color, our Santenay Premier Cru "La Maladière" 2020 unveils intense aromas of white peach, vanilla and fennel. Its rich and balanced palate shows great amplitude. The lightly saline finish evolves pleasantly before ending with a touch of minerality.
Located above the village of Santenay, our Premier Cru “La Maladière” combines a marly-clay and limestone-rich soil that produces a mineral and lively Chardonnay. Lying at the southern extremity of the Côte de Beaune, the appellation was created in 1937. Renowned for its intense red wines across the world, Santenay also produces a handful of chiseled white wines like our “La Maladière”.
