Background
Santenay is known for its earthy wines. Paul's genius is that he makes this wine with incredible balance between that earthiness and wonderful fruitiness. A most tasty example of a village-level Pinot Noir from Santenay.
Tasting Notes
This wine has bright red-fruit flavors that are balanced perfectly with appealing earthy notes and minerality. Its tannins are soft. A lovely wine with a pleasant finish.
