Domaine Michelot La Comme Santenay 1er Cru 2017
This parcel lies on the border of Santenay with Chassagne-Montrachet and is particularly windy. The wind helps keep the grapes healthy as they ripen and ensures an excellent maturity.
Most of the soil here is clay/limestone with a chalky rock subsoil which lends finesse and a mineral note to the wine. The rest is made up of white marl which gives the wine structure, tannins and roundness.
This wine goes particularly well with red meats and dishes such as 12-hour lamb. It is marked by very ripe red fruits, often cherries, and has an unctuous character.

The wine matures in barrel for 12 months, 20% of which are new, during which time the malo-lactic fermentation takes place.
The Domaine keeps anti-malady treatments of the vines to a strict minimum, preferring to keep the land itself healthy through a carefully scheduled program of ploughing. They allow grass to grow in a part of each vineyard and mow it regularly.
The grass deprives the vines of easily accessible water and forces the root system deep into the ground. This minimizes the need for pesticides and concentrates the specific qualities that each terroir brings to its wine.
