Wine Tasting Adventure

2021 Santenay Vielles Vignes, Rijckaert, Côtes d'Or, Burgundy, France

£29.99 GBP

Florent Rouve was fresh out of Dijon’s wine college when he first met Jean Rijckaert, an established Burgundy wine legend. The pair’s shared vision for a natural style of winemaking has led to phenomenal success and Florent has now been at the helm of production since 2013. His minimal intervention approach includes carefully hand-picked harvests and zero chemical use in the vineyards. Only a small percentage of the Santenay appellation produces white wines, so this 100% Chardonnay wine is certainly one to try. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels, this is rich and rounded thanks to the vineyards’ southerly exposure. Expect toasty and nutty notes with a smoky minerality. Its texture and weight makes it a great pairing for salmon and spinach tart.
