Les Héritiers Saint-Genys Santenay Blanc gowpowkeg

Les Héritiers Saint-Genys Santenay Blanc gowpowkegWondefully bright and pure on the nose, flavours are long and complex with a hint of pithy white grapefruit adding freshness. Well balanced, ripe fruit but not at all heavy rather fresh and vital with a lovely long finish. This white is a blend of two climats from the terroir of Santenay: Sous la roche (under the rock) said to be one of the best slopes to grow Chardonnay, due in part to its chalky clay marl soils and southerly aspect and Comme Dessus
