Château de Santenay
シャトー・ド・サントネイ
Profile
メルキュレに拠点を構えるシャトー・ド・サントネは、コート・シャロネーズ地区を代表する歴史的な造り手である。その活動の核となるのは地元メルキュレ村に広がる自社畑であり、総保有畑数は3ヶ所にのぼる。特筆すべきは、所有する全ての畑がプルミエ・クリュ(一級畑)に格付けされている点だ。具体的なラインナップには、レ・クレ、レ・クロワショ、そしてレ・ピュイエという、村内でも個性の異なる3つの著名な一級畑が名を連ねている。グラン・クリュの保有こそないものの、この地のテロワールを熟知した一級畑のコレクションに特化することで、ドメーヌとしてのアイデンティティを確立している。メルキュレのポテンシャルを最大限に引き出すべく、厳選された一級畑の個性を忠実に表現することに重きを置いた生産体制を敷いている。
