2015 Santenay Clos des Hâtes

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2015 Santenay Clos des Hâtes, which is 50% de-stemmed, a massale selection from d'Angerville and Henri Boillot planted in 1999, has a well-defined bouquet with black berry and bilberry fruit, subtle undergrowth scents coming through with time. The palate is grainy in texture, quite masculine with blackberry fruit, a pleasant leafiness towards the tertiary finish that just needs to develop a little more aftertaste. Enjoy over 4-6 years. - Neil Martin, Dez. 2016

Allen Meadows' Burghound: This is also attractively ripe and fresh with its earthier and more deeply pitched aromatic array of dark currant and smoked meat. There is excellent energy to the mouth coating and sappy medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent concentration on the mildly rustic and serious finale. - Allen Meadows, Apr. 2017
