Santenay 1er Cru Clos Des Gravieres Domaine Herve De Lavoreille 1992

The wine

To the south of the Côte de Beaune, Santenay is spread over 378 hectares. Dominated by the Trois-Crois mountain, the village of Santenay is celebreated for its wines as well as its waters (thanks to its “salted” fountain). White wines produced in the appellation (a mere 10% of production) are produced in the municipalities of Santenay and Rémilly. The clay-limestone terroir lends fruitiness and finesse that, when combined with an élevage in oak barrels, make white Santenay a great wine, dry and full-bodied, with very developed fragrances.
