Emeric's note

Scallops for someone special

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

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

The story

Behind the bottle

The Chapelle family has made wine in Santenay, at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune, for five generations, farming organically and picking every grape by hand.

Les Gravières is a Santenay Premier Cru on a south-east facing slope of clay-limestone and white marl, aged ten months in oak barrels.

The best white of Santenay, and a serious rival to its famous neighbours at half the price.

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.
