Tasting Notes:
The 2021 Santenay Rouge impresses with its deep ruby colour and intense nose, showcasing the vivid aromas of wild fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, and cranberry. In its youth, the wine can be tannic, offering a powerful structure that evolves with time. On the palate, the wine is long and persistent, with flavours that recall the richness of grenadine syrup and the subtle tartness of pomegranate. Its harmonious balance of fruit and tannins makes this a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged to develop further complexity. Perfect for pairing with game meats, roasted vegetables, or rich stews.
