"Clearly ripe aromas include candied citrus, poached apple and a hint of floral. The very round, even suave flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel while showing good length on the refreshing bitter lemon-infused finish. This sufficiently concentrated vintage should drink well, especially in its youth (2023+)". (Burghound 2021). The white Santenay Comme Dessus, near Chassagne-Montarchet, benefits from an ideal south-east exposure, and offers just the right balance of fat and freshness on the palate. To be enjoyed young, it goes well with specialties such as snails or grilled fish (sea bass or pan-fried scallops).

About the domain :
This ancient estate, which dates back to the 18th century, now covers 24 hectares. It is run by Roger Belland, who set up in 1981, his daughter Julie, who joined in 2003 and is in charge of vinification, and their new collaborator Martin Boyer. No certified organic farming here, but controlled, reasoned viticulture (total grassing of the vineyard, no weedkillers), and wines of great consistency.
