The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, offering flavors of cranberry, red currant, and light mineral notes.

About this wine

Joseph Drouhin's Santenay represents the producer's mastery of Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, one of France's most prestigious red wine regions. Founded in 1880, Drouhin is renowned for crafting elegant Pinot Noir wines that balance power with finesse, a hallmark of serious Burgundian winemaking. This red wine showcases the hallmark characteristics of Côte de Beaune terroir: structured tannins, bright acidity, and the mineral-driven complexity that defines great Burgundy.

The Santenay appellation occupies the southern reaches of the Côte de Beaune, where limestone-rich soils and optimal sun exposure produce Pinot Noir of remarkable depth. At 13% ABV, this is a food-forward wine built for the table rather than the trophy case. It pairs superbly with beef, venison, game birds, duck, and poultry, ideal for intimate dinners at your chateau or fine dining occasions where authenticity matters more than pretension. Drouhin's Santenay delivers classic Burgundian sophistication without compromising accessibility.
