Domaine Guy Amiot Santenay "La Comme Dessus" Rouge 2019, 750ml

Santenay "La Comme Dessus" Rouge 2019 is sourced from a 0.25 ha east-facing parcel on a steep slope above the 1er Cru "La Comme" in Santenay. The 25-year-old Pinot Noir vines are planted on clay and limestone soils, forcing deep root penetration. Grapes are fully destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, with 20% new oak used, then assembled in tank before bottling.

Tasting Note:

Aromas show red cherry, raspberry, and subtle spice. The palate is balanced and fresh, with fine tannins and mineral tension. The finish is clean and persistent, with ageing potential up to 10 years.
