Domaine de la Croix Senaillet - Bourgogne Chardonnay Romantic 2012
89/100
Robert Parker
“The 2012 Romantic Burgundy Chardonnay comes from the 0.65-hectare ‘Les Quincys’ vineyard and spent nine months in oak casks. It has a bright bouquet with subtle notes of lemon and buttercup. The palate is well-balanced with lively acidity: it may lack a bit of depth on the finish, but it reveals a pleasant ginger aftertaste. Good.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

About the estate:
Domaine de la Croix Senaillet was founded in 1969 by Maurice Martin, who gradually shifted from mixed farming to viticulture. In 1990, his son Richard took over the family estate, and was joined by his brother Stéphane in 1992. The property, which originally covered 6.5 hectares, has expanded to 25 hectares today, spread across 52 plots that have been certified organic since 2010. Building on their experience, in 2015 the brothers acquired Dom. de Mont Épin in Clessé (13 hectares).
