Domaine de la Croix Senaillet
The 26 hectares of Domaine de la Croix Senaillet are spread over a mosaic of more than 50 plots of land within the "Grand Site de France" of Solutré - Pouilly - Vergisson. The vines, on average 40 years old, are planted exclusively with Chardonnay grapes. The majority of these vines face the rising sun on gentle slopes that extend the eastern slopes of the Solutré and Vergisson rocks. The soil is composed of marly limestone from the Middle and Upper Jurassic periods. Alteration results in clayey silts that can be carried down the slopes by runoff.
The Domaine de la Croix Senaillet vineyard is cultivated using certified organic methods. Harvesting the grapes at optimum maturity is one of the winemaker's challenges, and one which determines the final quality of the wine. On arrival at the winery, the grapes are gently conveyed by conveyor belt into the presses. This direct pressing is slow and carried out at low pressure to obtain the purest possible juice (= must) that best expresses the aromatic finesse of the Chardonnay grape variety. Before bottling, all Domaine de la Croix Senaillet wines are aged on their fine lees for 10 months, giving them a smooth roundness and greater complexity.

4/5 (1 review)
1*Étoile Hachette
Fine and discreet, this white offers notes of white flowers on the nose. Finely taut, the palate is then full and rich, with freshness and good length.

Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Saint-Véran Sur La Carrière 2021
4.5/5 (2 reviews)
1*Étoile Hachette
"An expressive white (white flowers, fresh fruit, candied citrus, aromatic herbs), powerful and rich on the palate, refreshed by a long mineral finish and fine bitters. It will age well. (Le Guide Hachette 2024)
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Mâcon-Davayé 2022
1*Étoile Hachette
"50-year-old Chardonnays vinified and aged in vats on fine lees for 8 months have produced an expressive wine evocative of honey, lime blossom, lemon and mimosa. The palate, straight and firm on the attack, then softens around a smooth, fruity body, refreshed by a mineral finish. A fine terroir wine that needs time to assert itself and blossom". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Pouilly-Fuissé 2018
4.5/5 (4 reviews)

16,5/20 Jancis Robinson
"A chamomile note joins lemon notes on the juicy mirabelle plum nose of this wine. The palate adds bright, aromatic notes of green greengage and almond. All this aromatic intensity unfolds against a backdrop of chalky texture framed by brightness and freshness. A fine achievement for 2018, the wine has balance, concentration, texture and elegance." (Wine Enthusiast 2020) A Pouilly-Fuissé not to be missed!
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Saint-Véran La Grande Bruyère 2017

90/100 Wine Enthusiast
"A wine with a discreet nose of yellow and exotic fruits, supple and fresh on the attack, richer and honeyed in its development. A fine personality." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) Nestled between richness and crisp minerality, this wine envelops us in notes of yellow fruit and ripe apple. The acidity provides an essential contrast and the right balance for this more than refined wine.
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Saint-Véran En Pommards 2014
4.5/5 (2 reviews)
91/100 Robert Parker
En Pommards is a rich Saint-Véran, with notes of hazelnut, apricot, honey, gingerbread and fresh butter. A powerful white with a round mouthfeel and mellow oak that reaffirms flavors of pear, honey, dried fruit and gingerbread. A very fine bottle indeed!
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Saint-Véran Les Rochats 2014
4/5 (2 reviews)

16/20 Gault & Millau
-
16/20 Bettane & Desseauve
In a clear, intense golden color, Les Rochats opens with a nose of fresh, zesty lemon aromas. With a clean, fresh attack, the 2014 is still restrained and will need some time in bottle to fully express itself. Great ageing potential!
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Bourgogne Chardonnay Romantic 2012
2.5/5 (2 reviews)
89/100 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)
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Saint-Véran Dolia 2008
4.5/5 (2 reviews)
14,5/20 Bettane & Desseauve
"Chalky nose, long, graceful palate with a saline touch on the finish." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2015). A rare cuvée with a production of just 800 bottles! A full-bodied white with a lovely consistency, dense and pure. A taut, straight, vertical wine, now in its fullness...
