Situation géographique et terroir
The best parcels of Santenay are those to the north of the appellation, alongside the vines of Chassagne-Montrachet. The soil contains more gravel, marl and limestone which gives the grapes greater structure and richness. The result is a more powerful wine. With a south-east exposure, the vines of the "Comme Dessus" plot produce grapes that reach perfect ripeness. The name "Comme" is the regional etymology of Combe, as the vineyard is an extension of the Combe de Saint-Aubin.
Vinification
Immediately after the harvest, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, then we carry out a static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The musts are then put directly into barrels and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out.
Light blond toast, 20% new barrels.
