2020 Château de la Crée, Santenay Premier Cru Beaurepaire Chardonnay

The legendary Beaurepaire vineyard is in Upper Santenay, located on the hillside immediately above the village itself. A portion of this picturesque Premier Cru vineyard is owned and meticulously farmed by the Evenstad’s. This high elevation (750-1,000 feet) and sun-drenched parcel is a hidden gem that reveals Santenay’s world-class potential for white wines of great depth and structure, offering a perfect equilibrium of body, elegance, and mineral-rich complexity.
