Lucien Muzard & Fils Santenay Clos Faubard Premier Cru 2020

The Clos Faubard field is situated high on the mountainside, on a terrace, with fantastic sun exposure all day long. The soil is limestone covered with a thin layer of red loam. 0.7 hp. for approx. 300 meters high.

The grapes are pressed, and the must is lightly clarified before it reaches the barrel. Fermentation is achieved with natural yeast. The malolactic fermentation is typically completed during the winter months, in the underground cellars.

Aged in used 350 liter casks for 10 months.

The color is a beautiful burgundy red. The aroma is lots of red fruits and berries, especially cherries, with notes of licorice.

The taste is wildly aromatic. Lots of red fruits wrapped in fine, discreet tannins. Beautiful rich balance.

The quality/price is really nice.
