Philippe le Hardi ‘Les Platanes d’Henri IV’ 2018/19, Santenay

Description

This is made on a magnificent 9th century estate that’s named after the first Duke of Burgundy, Philippe le Hardi. He, interestingly, became famous when he banned Gamay from the region in 1395. Today, this is the hub of environmentally friendly, excellently produced wines, like this Santenay. It’s rich, ripe and complex, with notes of stone fruits, vanilla and honey. Serve lightly chilled with Camembert.
