Bright and cheerful, with very pretty red fruit notes, this is simply charming. Located near the border with Chassagne Montrachet, in the best area of Santenay, this is rather Volnay-like, with fine elegant structure, pretty red and black fruit notes, and a lovely open character.

One of Ralph's favorites. 46% sauvignon blanc, 46% sauvignon gris and 8% muscadelle. Barrel-fermented and sur lies aged for 7-9 months. Here is a wine with the delicacy expected in white Bordeaux, but with good power and depth. The unusual addition of sauvignon gris adds to the aromatic intensity with notes of jasmine, mango and passion fruit. Toasty vanilla comes through nicely and adds to the long and delicate finish.
