Robert Parker
"The Bourgogne Chardonnay 2012 Romantic comes from the 0.65-hectare "Les Quincys" parcel and spent nine months in oak foudres. It has a bright bouquet with subtle notes of lemon and buttercup. The palate is well-balanced with lively acidity: it may lack a little depth on the finish, but it reveals a pleasant ginger aftertaste. Good." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

About the domain :
Dom. de la Croix Senaillet was founded in 1969 by Maurice Martin, who gradually abandoned mixed farming in favor of vines. In 1990, his son Richard took over the family estate, before being joined by his brother Stéphane in 1992. The property, initially 6.5 ha, has grown to 25 ha today, spread over 52 parcels that have been certified organic since 2010. Building on their experience, in 2015 the brothers acquired Dom. de Mont Épin in Clessé (13 ha).
