About Abbaye de Santenay
The owner of Domaine de l Abbaye de Santenay, Michel Clair, has been at the forefront of high-quality wine production in the region for the last 35 years. Today the domaine boasts 14 hectares of vineyards, with predominantly old vine plantings, almost all of them in Santenay. Ludovic Pierrot, Michel s son-in-law, has implemented biodynamic growing principles, becoming Demeter certified in 2018 after working organically for many years. Blessed with a choice assortment of old-vine parcels throughout Santenay, he is squeezing the absolute most from them, as this phenomenal 17 illustrates. Traditionally, Santenay reds were thought of as pretty, relatively lightweight alternatives to some of the bigger-name reds of the C te de Beaune (Volnay; Pommard), but this wine forces you to reconsider everything you thought you knew about the village and its vineyards. Santenay is at the southern tip of the Cote d Or, or Golden Slope, Burgundy s most revered section of land. It lies just below the more famous village of Chassagne-Montrachet and a 20-minute drive south from the region s town center of Beaune. Soils here are unique, containing strata of Bajocian limestone of the type found in C te de Nuits, known for Burgundy s biggest powerhouse reds. This limestone has eroded to fill many of the vineyards throughout the appellation injecting the Pinot Noir grown here with a healthy dose of C te de Nuits heft. In the winery, the wine ferments (with 20% whole clusters included) and matures in French oak barrels, 10% new, for one year. The result provides a magnificent sense of place.
