Les Heritiers Saint Genys Santenay Ier Cru La Maladiere 2021
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys Santenay 1er Cru La Maladière Rouge is an elegant, expressive Premier Cru Burgundy from the southern tip of the Côte de Beaune. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir , it offers a perfect balance of ripe fruit, refined structure, and the kind of terroir-driven character that makes Santenay one of Burgundy's most rewarding appellations. Meet the Producer Les Héritiers Saint-Genys is a boutique Burgundy estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, crafting wines that showcase the individuality of their vineyard sites through meticulous, sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking. Holdings span prestigious appellations across the Côte de Beaune, where limited production and careful vineyard management ensure wines of authenticity and genuine finesse. Vineyard and Production La Maladière is a Premier Cru climat located near the village of Chagny in Santenay, its name derived from the old French word for hospital, as these vineyards were historically bequeathed to charitable institutions such as the Hospices de Beaune. Les Héritiers Saint-Genys farm just under one hectare of 50-year-old Pinot Noir vines on steep, south-facing limestone slopes. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted in the vineyard before fermentation in stainless steel to preserve purity of fruit. The wine then ages for 16 months in French oak barrels, 20% new, adding subtle spice and structure. Tasting Notes Garnet red in colour, the nose opens with lifted aromas of raspberry, cherry, and violet, layered with hints of game and earth. The palate is elegant yet concentrated, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a fine mineral edge that carries through to a persistent, harmonious finish. Grape Variety Pinot Noir Perfect Pairings Ideal with grilled steak, roasted pheasant, or a slow-cooked beef casserole. Its supple texture and savoury complexity also make it an excellent companion for mushroom-based dishes and aged cheeses. About the Region Santenay sits at the southern end of
Nuits-Saint-Georges, Edouard Delaunay 2021
Founded in 1893, the house of Delaunay became a prestigious and prolific estate and was one of the sole distributors of DRC and exclusively of La Romanée until the 1940s. Sold to Jean Claude Boisset in the 1990s, the maison was reborn in 2017 when winemaker and fifth generation, Laurent Delaunay, purchased back the name, and winery and cellars next to the family home Chateau de Chaumont. Laurent and wife Catherine have accessed some excellent vineyard sites across the Cote d’Or, including a gem in Petit-Vougeots, and right up to Griottes-Chambertin. The wines have been highly praised by critics, Club Members and the Honest Grapes team, and the portfolio encompasses everything from humble Aligote to Chambertin Grand Cru. With their commitment to excellence and remarkable vineyard sources, House Delaunay has regained its prominence in the world of Burgundy wines.
