Appearance: The 2020 vintage is marked by historically early budding and harvest, which took place in August. High temperatures and lack of rainfall caused a water deficit, affecting the health of the grapes. Nevertheless, the balance in the wine is exceptional.
Aroma: Santenay 1er Cru Passetemps 2020 offers an intense aroma, reflected in 100% destemmed grapes. Alcoholic fermentation in open containers lasted 19 days, contributing to the complexity of the aroma.
Taste: After 16 months of aging, 4 of which were in stainless steel tanks, the wine reveals a rich taste. Aging in 100% barrique barrels, 30% of which were new, contributed to a harmonious combination of flavors.
Conclusion: Santenay 1er Cru Passetemps 2020 boasts exceptional balance and complexity, created by this special vintage.
