The 2020 Santenay by Jean Baptiste Jessiaume is a superb illustration of Pinot Noir from the southern reaches of the Côte de Beaune. Crafted by the talented Jean Baptiste Jessiaume, this wine reflects a perfect balance between ancestral Burgundian tradition and a modern, terroir-driven approach.

The bouquet is expressive, filled with vibrant red fruit aromas such as wild strawberries and raspberries, intertwined with delicate floral hints of violet and a subtle earthy undertone. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a crisp acidity that provides energy and focus. Despite the warmth of the 2020 vintage, this Santenay remains remarkably fresh and elegant, leading to a refined and lingering finish.
