Like the white from this vineyard, these grapes come from a tiny 0.28-hectare parcel of 50+-year-old vines in the clos itself (see the note on the white for more details on this terroir). The planting density is now 20,000 vines per hectare. The vines are not trimmed but wrapped down (tressage) and yield tiny berries and bunches. Vinified with 80% whole bunches—bringing oodles of perfume, structure and a tapering finish—this is another wonderful Santenay and one that would likely sell for considerably more (and get far higher scores!) if it were located in the Côte de Nuits. Smart buyers won’t hesitate.

Reviews

“The first wine where I sense the wc – but we have another broad and complex nose. In the mouth too – the extra tannin, not just from the grapes. But energetic flavour here of complexity – and a little extra strict but you don’t have to wait too long, 3-4 years and you will be fine. Extra long and despite the extra tannin, there’s still no grain… Certainly excellent – maybe even better with time…”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The 2022 Santenay Clos des Gravières Vieilles Vignes has a brisk nose with dark berry fruit, briar and forest floor scents. There's something quite autumnal about the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with a peppery entry and fine balance. The stems are quite conspicuous toward the finish. Drink this over the next decade. It is very fine.”
90 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
