Bitouzet-Prieur’s Santenots comes from a steep, limestone-heavy slope on the Volnay border. Though better known for reds, this site yields bold, mineral-rich Chardonnay. Fermented with native yeasts and aged 16 months in 25% new oak, the 2022 shows both muscle and finesse.

Broader than the domaine’s other Meursaults, it delivers spice, stone, and yellow fruit in a textured frame. A powerful, age-worthy white from an underrated premier cru site.

Antonio Galloni

AG 94

"The 2022 Meursault Santenots 1er Cru has a complex nose: yellow fruit, spice box, touches of fennel and crushed stone, all coming through with aeration. The palate is very well-balanced with good weight - a lovely creamy texture whilst retaining tension. More open than other cuvées and persistent in the mouth, this is a well-crafted and delicious Meursault." -Neal Martin

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

This unique premier cru sits right on the border of Meursault and Volnay; white wines from here are labeled Meursault, and red wines Volnay, and Francois owns a fifth of a hectare of Chardonnay in the steep Santenots-Blanc climat, planted in the early 1970s. The plot’s soils of Bathonian limestone and brown scree produce a broad, powerful wine that combines rich body and punchy minerality in an impressively dynamic whole. This passes 16 months in about one-quarter new barrels before bottling.

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
