Jean Baptiste Jessiaume Santenay "Sous la Roche" Blanc 2023, 750ml

Sourced from sustainably farmed Chardonnay vines in the climat "Sous la Roche," situated on steep, elevated clay-limestone slopes above the village of Santenay. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and seasoned French oak barrels. The wine ages for 10 to 12 months on fine lees in French oak barrels (15% new oak, 85% neutral barrels) with periodic bâtonnage prior to fining and bottling.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, lemon zest, white acacia flowers, toasted hazelnut, and crushed limestone. The palate is dry, energetic, and medium-bodied, delivering a core of citrus and stone fruit balanced by taut acidity and a supple, lightly textured mid-palate. The finish is clean, persistent, and intensely mineral-driven.
