Emeric's note

A long Sunday lunch

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

La Comme is one of Santenay's best-known Premier Crus, and the Chapelle family has made wine in the village for five generations.

Their vines there are about 57 years old, on clay-limestone at the foot of the slope, farmed organically. Fourteen months in oak, a third of it new.

A Premier Cru that is still fairly priced. Enjoy it while that lasts.

Where it comes from

Côte de Beaune map

The place

Côte de Beaune · Bourgogne

South of the Côte de Nuits, the slope widens and turns to the world's reference point for Chardonnay — Meursault, Puligny- and Chassagne-Montrachet — alongside refined reds from Pommard and Volnay. Beaune itself, with its tiled Hospices, is the region's beating commercial heart.
