Lot presentation

Santenay 1er Cru Clos Tavannes Françoise et Denis Clair (Domaine) 2009

The wine

Clos Tavannes Santenay is characterised by its refined, precise nose, with delicate red berry aromas, mixed with subtle woody notes. The palate offers a rare elegance and complexity, with very refined tannins, beautiful fruity flavours and a very attractive length. This wine pairs very well with meats in sauce (especially game).

About the Producer Françoise et Denis Clair

Domaine Françoise and Denis Clair was created in 1986 with initially only 5 hectares in Santenay, from the plots of the Clair family. The vineyard has gradually extended to today's 15 hectares. Since 2000, the son Jean-Baptiste has joined his parents and works in the field; they also set up a small trading business to expand their range. The wines of this domaine are vinified in a modern style, with succulent reds and a fine, refined style of white.
