Tasting notes
On the nose, this Santenay Gravieres 2022 opens with aromas of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and delicate floral hints, underpinned by a whisper of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied and refined, with silky tannins framing flavors of red berries, a touch of earthiness, and a soft spice that leads into a clean, lingering finish. The wine’s natural freshness and elegance shine through, delivering both precision and approachability.
Pairing
This 2022 Santenay Gravieres matches beautifully with roasted duck or game birds, where its red fruit and subtle earthiness complement rich, savory notes. It also pairs nicely with milder cheeses—such as Brie or young Comté—or mushroom risotto, enhancing both the dish and the wine.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir has very aromatic profile, very fresh acidity and low level of quaite soft tannins. The nature of Pinot Noir wine is its flavors of red berries and cherry (red sour cherries in lighter wines and cooked black cherries in bold examples). This wine matures very exating, developing notes of berry jam, violets, leather, moss and mushrooms.
Santenay
The southern Côte de Beaune appellation which produces both red and white wines. Red wines are very deep and saturated - truly outstanding examples can be found in the appellation. White wines lack elegance. There are 12 Premier Cru vineyards lucky to have the best climate in Santenay.
Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
