Vintage: 2017 Colour: Red Style: Dry

Description:
The «Clos de Malte» is a 7 ha Monopole (Louis Jadot is the sole owner) situated on the climat «Sous la Fée» at the foot of the Montagne des Troix Croix. The Santenay Clos de Malte is mainly planted with Pinot Noir with a small hectare of Chardonnay situated on very damp soil of limestone and clay.
Tasting Note:
Colour is a dark but 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.
