Vintage Character The 2022 Santenay Vieilles Vignes from Thomas Morey captures the essence of Burgundy’s southern Côte de Beaune, crafted from mature Pinot Noir vines rooted in the region’s classic limestone and clay soils. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, dry growing season, resulting in wines with generous ripeness, supple tannins, and expressive aromatics.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Santenay opens with enticing notes of black cherry, raspberry, and hints of violet, layered with subtle earthy nuances and a touch of spice. The palate is elegantly balanced, offering juicy red and dark fruit, silky tannins, and a refreshing minerality that extends through a nuanced, lingering finish. This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck breast, mushroom risotto, or a selection of aged Gruyère cheese, and for an inspired Asian pairing, it complements Peking duck particularly well.
