Beautifully bathed in the morning sun, the Premier Cru “La Maladière” thrives on a prime hillside in Santenay. This exceptional terroir historically takes its name from medieval leper colonies, on lands once gifted as an act of charity. Here, fissured limestone and iron oxides combine to give the Pinot Noir a noble power and great purity. This exceptional geology produces a wine of profound density and elegance. On the palate, its remarkably refined tannins and aromas of ripe red berries are instantly seductive. This Premier Cru embodies Bourgogne at its most precise and vibrant : a wine of character, built to stand the test of time and reveal its full potential after a few years of patient ageing in the cellar.
