Good depth - the warm vintage speaking again - augments its charm. Supple, fresh, and long, it's a delight now. Santenay reds can be a bit rustic. This one is not. Indeed, it is remarkably refined for a village Santenay. These days you rarely find this character and quality in Burgundy at this price.

This Santenay is just one example of the great success Latour had with their village wines in 2020. Characteristic of the vintage, it has good depth that augments its charm. Supple, fresh, and long, it is a delight now — and refined for a village Santenay. These days you rarely find this character and quality in Burgundy at this price. - Michael Apstein

Velvety and interwoven with peach, ripe red apple and baking spice flavors, revealing flashes of honey and citronella as this plays out on the
lingering finish. Best from 2024 through 2029. (USA, December 2023)

At first quite earthy and a little bit wild, this youthful Santenay needs some aeration for the sour-cherry fruit to emerge. At once ripe and supple, with a healthy base of rather fine tannins. Quite some earthy complexity at the long finish. Drink or hold.

Toasty oak on the nose of this wine has an almost floral aspect and projects creaminess. The palate comes in with mellow smoothness, carrying ripe red cherry with overtones of Morello. Freshness pervades the fruit on a sinuous palate., while creaminess dominates the finish.

Steeped plum and cherry fruit is graced with sandalwood, incense and toasty oak notes. This is smooth and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of spices. Drink now through 2028. — BS

The Santenay 2014 has warming wood notes across the soft cherry and raspberry fruit bouquet and develops floral notes as it breathes in the glass. On the palate, the zippy entry from the crisp acidity subsides a touch to reveal more complex characters and more fleshy fruit toward the finish. This is an elegant Burgundy with equally elegant tannins from the structured pinot noir. (Neil Cammies, UK)

Packed with red fruit, supple and easy to enjoy. (Will Lyons, UK).

Rich cherry, smoke and earth flavors are offset by firm, dense tannins in this beefy red. Balanced and satisfying, with a lingering finish of earth and fruit. Drink now through 2021. By Bruce Sanderson (USA)
