Red Wine
Colour is a brilliant black-cherry. The bouquet evokes rose-petals, peony, violet, red fruits and a hint of liquorice. In the mouth, the attack is deep and intense. Firm but discreet tannins make for a body that is supple, fine-textured and well-built. It boasts back aromas (often of bilberry) and a long finish. Santenay produces one of the finest and elegant Pinot Noir in Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. The wines of Héritiers Saint-Abel come from the expertise of five generations. The precision work makes unique wines, which reflect typicity of their terroir and have great finesse. The delicate expression of the fruit is enhanced by its great purity, freshness and good concentration.
