Remoissenet Santenay 1er Cru Beaurepaire Blanc

« Beaurepaire » is a particularly well-exposed parcel located at the top of the hillside. 'Beau repaire' (which means 'nice retreat') was a pleasant place for grape pickers to rest."

In much the same fashion as the En Caradeux, the expressive nose is quite smoky with its layered aromas of pear, apple, kiwi, white flower and soft citrus wisps. The sleek, delicious and pliant flavors possess good volume if not the same vibrancy on the lightly stony finish where touches of wood and warmth slowly emerge.

Winemaker notes

The nose is almost juicy, with citrus notes such as lemon and orange peel. The palate is smooth and rich, with good length and a hint of bitterness.

Pair with veal carpaccio with lemon and rosemary, or scallops with madarine zest butter.
