Domaine Marc Colin Santenay Les Champs Claude 2015 Pinot Noir

The 2015 Santenay Vieilles Vignes "Champs Claude" Pinot Noir hails from vines planted in 1901, making these genuine vieilles vignes. This elegant wine opens with vibrant, edgy aromas of redcurrant and cranberry, followed by intriguing notes of tomato vine and persimmon as it evolves in the glass.

On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied structure with gentle, caressing tannins. The balance and harmony of this wine are exceptional, with a sensual and lingering finish that is truly captivating. It is one of the most impressive wines from the domaine’s 2015 vintage, showcasing both freshness and energy.

Winemaking includes the use of foudres (large wooden vats) to preserve the wine’s natural freshness without overwhelming oak influence. With low sulfur levels and a focus on acidity and liveliness, this Pinot Noir is as expressive as it is refined.
