Suggestion from January 07 2026
Wine: 2017 Santenay "La Comme"
Producer: Château de la Maltroye
Comment: Here too smoke and matchstick nuances are to be found on the overtly floral, green apple, mandarin orange and ripe pear-scented nose. The sleek, well-detailed and intense middle weight flavors display plenty of minerality on the highly energetic, saline and sneaky long finish. Like the Chenevottes, this is not especially dense but I really like the delivery and this is a high quality effort to check out and particularly so for value.
