SANTENAY 1er CRU La Comme – RED

Le séduisant Santenay 1er Cru

APPELLATION

Local appellation of La Côte de Beaune in Côte d’Or, Santenay applies to the localities of the same name and those in Remigny. It includes 12 climates listed as Santenay Premier Cru. “La Comme” is worthy of mention as one of the most beautiful wines of this appellation. The etymology tells us about the wine: “Comme” is from the word “combe,” (valley) since the vineyard is located down the valley from Combe Saint-Aubin. The Santenay Premier Cru is ideally located in the northern end of the appellation area, near Chassagne-Montrachet, in a very favorable microclimate. The soil contains more gravel, marl and limestone, giving the grapes greater structure and richness. The resulting wine is more powerful. With southeast exposure, the vines of “La Comme” Premier Cru produce grapes that reach perfect ripeness.

TASTING COMMENTS

“La Comme” 1er Cru Santenay is reputed for being one of the finest wines in the appellation, offering a seductive, deep and brilliant robe. The intense nose develops around generous aromas of berries with hints of delicate minerality. The palate is greedy and airy with a silky texture, elegant tannins and a very fine texture. The aftertaste is pretty (often of blueberries) with a persistent finale.

Pairs with stewed dishes such as veal and braised beef. Asian-style glazed and caramelized poultry and lovers of rabbit terrine will be thrilled to include it on their table because of its fleshy texture. With cheese plates, opt for Brie de Meaux, Pont-l’Evêque, Reblochon and Bleu de Bresse.

Serving temperature : 15 to 16 °C.
