Burgundy is renowned for a jigsaw of small plots, fitting side by across the rolling cotes and cru with many different owners - the result of equal inheritance. While some heirs want to make wine, others prefer to live their lives elsewhere, meaning their plots go unloved. Enter Patrice du Jeu, a Parisian restaurateur with the dynamism and energy to revive such plots. Together with family and friends, he managed to buy several parcels in excellent terroirs of the Côte de Beaune including Santenay, Chassagne Montrachet and Mercurey. Joining with white Burgundy expert Jean-Baptise Alinc the wines of these heirs - Les Héritiers - are both technically competent and beautifully crafted.
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys Santenay Blanc is an aromatic wine, typical of the great terroirs of Santenay. A fresh and floral nose with great acidity and a lovely long finish. Perfect as an aperitif that can continue as you dine. If you've laboured over a good fish pie, then the acidity of this wine would be perfect.
