About

From the water nymph to the god of wine, Santenay benefits from a dual vocation, thermal springs and winegrowing. In the far south of the Côte de Beaune, in this commune and in Remigny in the continuity of the terroir, this wine presents significant nuances depending on the hillside. The Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée was established in 1937.
