Santenay is a French appellation located in Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy. More precisely, in the area that is shared between the communes Santenay and Remigny. Although Santenay includes some percentage of white Chardonnay-based wines, it is mostly focused on the production of dark red wines that are exclusively made from Pinot Noir.
These wines are often described as rustic, and their aromas include red and dark berries, spices, and violets, sometimes with a hint of licorice. With age, they may develop expressions of candied or macerated fruits and leather. Supple tannins in Santenay wines will work well with pâté, rillettes, braised meat, stews, game, beef, and soft-centered cheese varieties.
