Domaine Nicolas, Santenay Les Charmes Dessous 2022

Domaine Nicolas Santenay Les Charmes Dessous 2022 is an elegant yet generously structured red Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s respected village appellations. The wine combines vibrant red and dark fruit with finely integrated oak, depth and a balanced tannic backbone—making it equally appealing now and with further bottle age.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a beautiful deep purple colour. Its bouquet is expressive and layered, offering peony, raspberry, blackcurrant and delicate spice, with subtle wood aromas seamlessly woven into the fruit. On the palate, it is intense and deep, supported by well-balanced tannins that lend the wine both structure and refinement. The finish is long and lingering, returning to vivid berry flavours and leaving a harmonious, polished impression. With its concentration, acidity and firm but balanced tannins, this 2022 has the structure to develop further in bottle over the next several years. It is already enjoyable with a little aeration, while additional ageing should bring greater softness and aromatic complexity.

Production
Produced in Santenay Les Charmes Dessous in Burgundy, this wine reflects the character of the Côte de Beaune, where limestone-rich soils and a temperate climate favour fresh, aromatic and structured reds. The grape variety is not specified in the supplied information, although red Santenay is traditionally made from Pinot Noir. Following vinification, the wine was matured for 12 months in barriques, with 25% new oak, allowing the delicate spice and wood notes to integrate with the fruit while preserving balance and depth. Harvesting details were not provided.

Food & Serving
This versatile red Burgundy is well suited to poultry prepared with Asian spices, braised beef, tournedos Rossini and feathered game such as pheasant. Its fruit, structure and savoury depth also pair beautifully with Brie de Meaux and Pont-l’Évêque. Serve at approximately 15–17°C. Decanting is not essential for a young 2022, but 30–60 minutes of aeration in a decanter can help open the aromas and soften the tannins.
