Santenay, Burgundy, France

The appellation of Santenay lies at the southern extremity of the Cote de Beaune and is famously said to be the home of both the nymph of water and the god of wine as it is both a spa and a winegrowing centre. Producing mainly Pinot Noir, but the Chardonnay should not be overlooked, as it can be exceptional in its minerality and freshness.

This very well-made Chardonnay from Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume is fresh and zesty with a touch of nuttiness to the nectarine-like aromas. The fruit is high quality as you would expect, with delicate weight, gentle oak and minerality adding texture. The finish is long and persistent. Drink now to 2030 and match with Turbot and fresh truffles.

The Jessiaume family has roots in the Côte de Beaune village of Santenay dating to the 1830s when they bought the estate of the Marquis of Saint-Innocent.
Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume, representing the sixth generation, grew up watching his father, Marc, make wine, and the two continued to run Jessiaume for several years after selling the estate in 2006. The pair later moved down to Bouzeron in the Côte Chalonnaise to take over Domaine Chanzy.
After this Jean-Baptiste returned to Santenay and set up his own Maison. Blessed with impeccable vineyard sources in the Côte de Beaune and Chalonnaise they create a rich and generous range of fine and distinguished wines, whose character brings out the best of the Burgundy grape varieties. Their lineup of wines is large but all are of tiny production.

100% manually harvested, upon arrival at the winery the grapes are directly pressed without crushing. After a light settling, the musts are directly placed into barrels. Matured for 15 months of which 12 in barrels (10-15% new barrels
