Pale lemon in colour. Bright citrus fruit aromas and subtle toasty notes burst out of the glass. On the palate the wine has a lovely textural quality and a lifted acidity carries the vibrant citrus onto the crisp and clean finish.

Santenay ‘La Comme’ 1er Cru borders the 1er Crus of Chassagne-Montrachet to the north east. As the name suggests, it is located in a ‘combe’ dry valley which funnels cool air down from the Hautes Côtes. Soils have a high limestone content and impart a marked minerality on the wines. The vineyards are farmed sustainably following 'lutte raisonnée' principles without the use of pesticides.

Upon arrival at the winery the hand-harvested bunches are sorted and then gently whole-bunch pressed. The must was cooled and settled before being racked off the sediment and moved to barrels for fermentation. Following fermentation the wine is aged in French oak (25% new) for 11 months.

Domaine Borgeot is situated in the village of Rémigny in the Côte de Beaune. Created in 1903, it is now run by the fourth generation of the Borgeot family: brothers Laurent and Pascal. Their 23 hectares of sustainably-farmed vineyards are in the villages of Bouzeron, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. The magic of Domaine Borgeot lies in the two people making these charming wines. As the saying goes in Burgundy, if you look at the person behind the wines, you will get an idea of the style of wine in your glass. Domaine Borgeot wines exhibit the calm and measured restraint of Pascal, balanced with the exuberance and liveliness of Laurent
