Domaine Jessiaume 2008 Gravières Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Santenay)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $40
Firm and dark wine, its solid tannins very much to the fore. There is also a strong toasty wood element that needs time to blend in what will be ripe, sweet fruits, freshened with pungent acidity. For aging.  — R.V.  (5/1/2011)

Château de la Crée 2008 Beaurepaire Chardonnay (Santenay)

  • Online Exclusive
Although it is better known for its reds, Santenay does produce white wine. This soft, generous, yellow fruit-flavored wine has fine acidity, layers of toast, a golden glow offering drinking pleasure now.  — R.V.  (12/31/2011)

A dry core pervades this full-bodied wine. Red fruits are masking its delicious ripe meat and sweet jam flavors. There is a distinct tannic element that holds this attractive wine together.  — R.V.  (12/31/2011)

Prosper Maufoux 2003 Les Gravières Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Santenay)

  1. $36
Complex from the start, marrying floral aromas with hints of stemminess, herbs and spice, all supported by lush black-cherry fruit. Picks up notes of black tea on the finish, so while this tastes good now, it may even improve in another year or two.  — W.E.  (11/15/2006)

Richly textured wine that oozes jammy red fruits and ripe tannins. It has a good dry core followed by sweet acidity and a juicy berry character. The wine has some power and aging potential.  — R.V.  (12/31/2011)

Domaine Jessiaume 2007 Gravières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Santenay)

While this is a light wine, on the steely side, it has a most attractive freshness and very crisp fruitiness. It is bright, shiny, just hinting at wood and more complex flavors.  — R.V.  (7/1/2010)

Chanson Père et Fils 2008 Santenay-Beauregard Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Santenay)

Beautifully perfumed in a relatively light style, this Santenay is full of red fruits, sweet tannins and mouthwatering acidity. It has some richness, although the main character is of freshness.  — R.V.  (7/1/2011)
