Domaine Prieur-Brunet Santenay 1er Cru Maladière 2017 — Tasting Notes

This 2017 Santenay Premier Cru showcases the refined character of Burgundy Pinot Noir, delivering a complex bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and hints of violets. Subtle undertones of earthy forest floor, delicate spice, and well-integrated oak add depth and elegance. On the palate, the wine is silky and structured, balancing vibrant acidity with velvety tannins. The finish is long and graceful, with persistent red fruit and savoury nuances.

Vintage and Winemaking

The 2017 Burgundy vintage was marked by a dry yet relatively cool growing season. Thanks to minimal frost damage, the grapes achieved excellent ripeness while retaining fresh acidity. The combination of moderate daytime temperatures and cool evenings allowed for a concentrated flavour profile and balanced structure.

Fermentation was carried out in oak barrels, extracting fine tannins and complex aromas. The wine was then aged in French oak casks for 12 months to enhance texture and integrate flavours before bottling.
