Domaine Chevrot Santenay Clos Rousseau – Santenay – White – 2021:

 

The Purity of Santenay 1er Cru: Domaine Chevrot ‘Clos Rousseau’ Blanc

Sourced from the prestigious ‘Clos Rousseau’ Premier Cru plot, the Domaine Chevrot Santenay Blanc is a benchmark white Burgundy. The Chevrot family, pioneers in organic and regenerative farming, craft this limited-production Chardonnay to express the pure minerality of its Bajocian limestone terroir. It is a wine of exceptional structure, depth, and a graceful aging capacity, appealing to the most discerning collectors.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A clear, pale gold with elegant green tinges.
• Aromatics: An intense, layered nose featuring classic Chardonnay notes of ripe citrus and pear, interwoven with subtle hints of verbena, white pepper, and a rich, nutty undertone.
• Flavour Profile: The palate is generous and honeyed, yet perfectly cut by a crisp, mineral-driven acidity that carries through to a long, beautifully saline finish. It strikes an exquisite balance between richness and freshness.

Serving Suggestions

Decant briefly and serve around 12-14°C. This Premier Cru demands a dish of equal elegance.

• Recommended Dishes: Lemon Sole Meunière, Roast Chicken with Tarragon and Cream Sauce, or a Mature Comté/Cheddar Cheese.
• Ageing: Excellent aging potential, drink between 2024 and 2034.
