This Santenay 1er Cru opens on a nose of black cherries, bramble and with toasted notes from oak. Supple on the palate, with firm but fine tannins, a linear acidity and a marked minerality.

Santenay 1er Cru 'Clos de La Comme' is located right on the border with Chassagne-Montrachet at the top of the slope. A 'combe' (dry valley) above the vineyard funnels cool air from the Hautes-Côtes into the vineyards here and results in a slightly cooler microclimate. Soils are composed of pebbly limestone marls and impart a marked minerality on the wine.

Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes were carefully sorted. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks with gentle pump overs and punch downs to extract smooth tannins. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (around 33% new oak) before the final blend was assembled and bottled.

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
