"A crystal-clear color with white-gold highlights dresses this superb wine, which opens with intense scents of tropical fruit, tangerine zest and sweet spices. The palate is both imposing and perfectly balanced between the roundness of ripe fruit, the smoothness of honey and the liveliness of citrus fruit". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) A success!

About the wine:
A crystalline color with white gold highlights dresses this superb wine, which opens with intense scents of tropical fruit, tangerine zest and sweet spices. The palate is both imposing and perfectly balanced between the roundness of ripe fruit, the smoothness of honey and the liveliness of citrus.
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).

Bue en 11/20. Perfect balance, good substance. A touch more roundness and we'd be on our way to a more prestigious AOP (Chassagne, Puligny...).

Note and review by M. VINCENT B. Published on 24/04/2019
Tasted in April 2019. Remarkable tension, exuberant vivacity, lime and yellow grapefruit archly dominant, right down to the bitterness of their zest. A Saint-Véran with a strong "aciiiid" bias. I'd advise waiting until your late teens to get back in touch.

A pleasant wine, but a little expensive. You can find better value for money.
