WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Clos des Hates—a small, family-held vineyard block—represents one of Santenay's most distinctive terroirs. The 'Vieilles Vignes' designation indicates these Pinot Noir vines have been farmed for decades, producing concentrated fruit and complex character. At two years old, this 2023 vintage shows ripe red fruit balanced by the mineral precision that comes from mature vines and cool-climate viticulture. The small production and limited distribution make this a wine for collectors and enthusiasts willing to seek out quality beyond famous appellations. For those discovering Santenay's potential, this wine offers insight into what dedicated producers achieve.
