“A new vintage from a south-facing vineyard, the 2020 Santenay Croix Sorine offers aromas of sweet berries, cherries, licorice, and loamy earth. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, smooth, and charming, it is a generous and sensual wine that defies the stereotypes of Santenay. ” (Wine Advocate 2022)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Frédérick and Franck Buisson, whose family has lived in the village since the 12th century, represent the eighth generation of winemakers at this historic Saint-Romain estate. Certified by Ecocert since 2012, they practice viticulture and winemaking that are as natural as possible. The red wines, which always contain a small amount of whole clusters, offer a precise expression of their terroir, championing the rediscovery of a Saint-Romain that we have rarely seen at this level. The precise whites are no exception.

Wine rated (2022 guide) 90/100 (Excellent wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Hints of rich cherries, berries, loamy soil, and dark chocolate set the stage for the 2020 Saint-Romain Combe Bazin, a medium- to full-bodied wine that is lively and refined, framed by velvety tannins and crisp acidity. This cuvée from younger vines is generally the most approachable red in the lineup, but in the 2020 vintage, it seems to have taken on a new level of depth.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Frédéric, the winemaker, and Franck, the sales manager, run one of the largest estates in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune. Having practiced organic farming—certified since 2009—they made the transition to biodynamic farming in 2018. For the past ten years, they have been following the lunar calendar for bottling. Their meticulous work in the vineyard and cellar allows them to produce deep, distinguished wines that age well. This is an estate that beautifully showcases the Saint-Romain appellation in both red and white wines; the wines are refined, precise, and elegant. A range of wines that fully deserves its first star.
