Louis Lequin & Fils Santenay Rouge 1er Cru La Comme 2023

Louis Lequin & Fils Santenay Rouge 1er Cru La Comme is a graceful Burgundy Pinot Noir that stands out for its elegance, finesse, and classic Premier Cru character. From the prized La Comme site in Santenay, it offers a refined expression of red fruit and floral nuance, rooted in the long heritage of Burgundy’s vineyard traditions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2023 Santenay Rouge shows the transparent ruby hue typical of fine Pinot Noir, with a bright, polished look. The nose is lifted and fragrant, opening with cherry, raspberry, and other red berry notes, framed by subtle floral accents that give the wine a fresh, appealing personality. On the palate, it is balanced and supple, with a smooth, fruit-forward core and the kind of finesse that makes Santenay an especially attractive Burgundy appellation. Expect juicy red fruit, gentle structure, and a long, graceful finish. It should drink beautifully in its youth, while also having enough depth to develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
This wine comes from the Premier Cru La Comme vineyard in Santenay, in the southern part of Burgundy, where Pinot Noir benefits from well-exposed slopes and limestone-rich soils that help preserve freshness and precision. Harvested with care to maintain fruit purity and vineyard character, the wine is typically vinified in a traditional Burgundy style that emphasizes delicacy, balance, and site expression.

Food & Serving
A versatile match for roast poultry, duck breast, mushroom dishes, veal, and lighter game, as well as soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. Serve at around 15-17°C, and consider a brief decant if drinking young to allow the aromas to open fully.

The domaine has built a strong reputation for producing precise, elegant Pinot Noir with a distinctly Burgundian sense of balance and terroir expression.
