Viniou Reviews
The 2001 Santenay Cuvée Château de la Maltroye is a compelling example of Burgundy's renowned white wines. With its origins in the celebrated Côte de Beaune, this wine showcases the elegance and depth typical of the region. The terroir, characterised by its limestone-rich soils and temperate climate, gives the wine its distinctive minerality and finesse. While specific vinification techniques are not detailed, the region's traditional focus on expressing the purity of the Chardonnay grape likely influences this wine's character. Santenay's wines are often noted for their structure and potential for ageing, making this vintage a gem. The regional history, deeply intertwined with Burgundian viticulture, adds rich layers of tradition to these wines.
Pairing this Santenay demi-sec with food can enhance its subtle nuances. Consider serving it with creamy poultry dishes or seafood, such as a white fish in lemon-butter sauce, which will complement its potential citrus, floral, and mineral notes. Regional dishes like Burgundy's own coq au vin blanc could also create a delightful interplay of flavours. Its semi-sweet profile might also pair well with slightly spicier dishes, gently offsetting the heat without overwhelming the palate.
For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at around 10-12°C. Allow it to breathe for about 15 minutes to open up its aromatic profile. When tasting, observe its clarity and hue, then take in its bouquet - the delicate floral and stone fruit notes that are typical of a mature Burgundian Chardonnay. Taste the wine, noting the balance between its sweetness and acidity, a signature of its terroir. Slow, deliberate tasting can help uncover the layers of complexity that develop in wines from this esteemed region.
