Despite being next to Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay just doesn’t enjoy the same level of prestige as its neighbor. Part of that is due to Santenay’s “Identity Crisis”- a wide variety of soils, elevations, and exposures means that Santenay lacks a signature style.
Jean-Michel Guillon is on a mission to change that! Looking towards Montrachet for inspiration, he uses 100% new French oak across his entire range. This should not be frightening! The ripe, concentrated fruit from these old vines can handle it, and Guillon has a deft touch. Which is why he was named ‘Burgundy Grower of the Year’ by Guide Hachette in 2020.
This is a delicious, robust chardonnay with loads of concentrated fruit flavors. Firm, limestone minerality underscores everything, with lifting herbal tones keeping everything in balance.
