Very mineral textured wine, speaking of limestone soil. It balances a toasty, smoky character against the ripest green and yellow fruits. The citrus lends its acidity to tighten up a finely structured, ageworthy wine.

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.

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.

A richly textured wine showing the more opulent side of Meursault. Toast and white fruits are suffused with a ripe texture of peach skins. There is a delicious, rounded character here, although with its texture, the wine could age for 3–4 years.

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.

Already showing signs of fading, this is a wine that needs to be drunk now. The fruit has disappeared into more mature secondary flavors, the tannins even showing signs of drying the wine.
