'Les Charmes Dessus' Santenay Villages Domaine de Bellene 2021

The Santenay Villages Les Charmes Dessus Domaine de Bellene is a white wine that expresses all the love for the land and respect for the vineyard, in one of the best areas on the planet, as far as the wine vocation is concerned. The prestigious Domaine de Bellene company was born in 2005, when Nicolas Potel decided to accept the proposal of some local winemakers and bought their land. Thus the winery begins its activity with an entirely organic wine production. The vineyards from which this excellent white Santenay Villages Les Charmes Dessus Domaine de Bellene comes have an excellent south-east exposure and are clayey and calcareous in nature. This white is produced with old vines, the most precious, in our case they are 100% Chardonnay grapes from the Santenay estates, in the suggestive landscape of French Burgundy. It is vinified with traditional and non-invasive methods. From the fermentation phase, in stainless steel tanks, we move on to the refinement where the wine is left to age in wooden barrels for 12 months, to then be bottled. The result is a fascinating white wine, I consider one of the best white Burgundies; it is a dry, rich wine with clear notes of fruit, a wonderful balance, elegance and harmony. From the structure and richness, we can deduce a truly remarkable potential for aging and improvement. To be enjoyed among true connoisseurs.
