The Santenay Rouge 1er Cru "Clos Faubard" 2022 is an exceptional wine that embodies the typicity of Pinot Noir. Grown on a unique 1.83-hectare climate, at 300 meters altitude and southeast exposure, this wine benefits from a terroir with lean and limestone soils. The vines, averaging 50 years old and pruned in cordon de royat, are worked using traditional methods, from plowing to manual harvesting.

The "Clos Faubard" 2022 cuvée is distinguished by its density and intensity on the palate, marked by a firm core and a velvety texture. Its complex aromas, enhanced by light pigeage and aging in Burgundian barrels (15-20% new), reveal deep notes of red and black fruits, as well as spicy and mineral touches.

This Santenay 1er Cru pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, game birds, stews, and aged cheeses like Comté or Reblochon. Serve at a temperature of 15-16°C to appreciate its full finesse and balance.
