Santenay « En Foulot »

Terroir

This cuvée originates from a plot of one hectare nestled in the Saint Jean valley in the locality known as ‘En Foulot’. Its clay-limestone soil, dotted with pebbles, and its eastern aspect create ideal conditions for producing grapes with high precision. This unique terroir gives the wine freshness and complexity.

Vinification & ageing

True to our traditional method, we start with gentle pressing in a vat, without adding SO2 at this stage, to preserve the authenticity of the grapes. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out entirely in French oak barrels, of which a third are new barrels, bringing richness and depth to the wine. Maturation, carried out on fine lees for 12 months, refines and brings balance to the cuvée, revealing all the finesse of its terroir.
