Santenay E. & D. Moingeon Frères 1977
The 1977 Santenay from E. & D. Moingeon Frères is an Appellation Contrôlée wine originating from the renowned Bourgogne region in eastern France. The producer, operating as a négociant-éleveur, is based in Beaune within the Côte-d'Or and was established in 1852.
The Bourgogne region was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs. Known for its fine-meshed system of climats, the region stretches from Chablis in the north to the Côte d'Or and Mâconnais in the south, where the characteristic limestone soils provide the foundation for its wines.
Santenay is situated in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, nestled between Chassagne-Montrachet and Maranges. As one of the largest village appellations in the area, it encompasses 12 Premier Cru Climats. The vineyards are planted on slopes at altitudes ranging from 220 to 400 meters, benefiting from east and southeast exposure. The vines grow in soils composed of limestone-marl and clay, supporting the area's primary production of Pinot Noir, alongside a smaller portion of Chardonnay.
