Goedhuis, January 2024
Sitting high up at the southern boundary of the appellation, this is a relatively cool vineyard which flourished in 2022. Dark in colour, this Santenay has an intense fragrance of autumnal forest fruit and spice, while the ripe flavours are balanced perfectly by tension and freshness. Not only is this already approachable, but it also has the ability to age.

Jasper Morris MW, December 2023, Score: 88-91
Deep purple. The strictest bouquet of the three Santenay 1ers Crus, being at slightly higher elevation as we approach Maranges. A little more topsoil here, Clos Rousseau has kept the freshness the best of the three. A fine, concentrated, medium bodied red fruit across the palate, just the right acidity, with excellent length. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: October 2023.
Region
Santenay
Santenay is a village and thermal resort in the Côte de Beaune district of Burgundy and is where the Côte d'Or begins in the south. 90% of wine from Santenay is red made from Pinot Noir and therest is white wine made from Chardonnay. The most noteworthy Premiers Crus are La Comme (on the border with Chassagne), Les Gravières (south of La Comme), Beauregard (to the west of Les Gravières) and Passetemps (to the south of Beauregard). The soils are varied with La Comme and Les Gravières, on the northern slope of Santenay, having a topsoil of gravel over marly-limestone. On the south side of Santenay, the soils are either brown limestone or deep in character, and the wines are more earthy. Red wines are generally well built and can be marked by a rustic and ‘terroir' quality. They are often tannic and hard in youth with earthy aromas and hints of violets,strawberries and almonds. Older wines tend to be characterised by chestnut and dried plum flavours and often have a smoky character. Premiers Crus have more noticeable floral notes. It is often said that Les Gravières has the greatest finesse, while La Comme is more robust. Santenay whites can have a youthful bouquet of hazelnuts and ferns. Within Les Gravières there is a plot producing white wine, including the very good Clos de Gravières. One of the best ambassadors for the region is Vincent Girardin.
