Domaine de l’Abbaye de Santenay is a fast-rising star in Burgundy whose proprietor, Ludovic Pierrot, has truly embraced the “vineyard-first” approach that characterizes the most dynamic estates in the region. The 2016 Santenay Champs Claude offers a bouquet rich in dark berries, subtle baking chocolate, licorice, and earthy undertones. The palate experiences a medium to full-bodied wine, showcasing depth and concentration, complemented by vibrant acidity and a structured tannin presence.
