Ratings: Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20, Gault Millau 15.5/20, Bourgogne Aujourd’hui 15.5/20
The Santenots appellation, located exclusively within the commune of Meursault, produces Meursault wines when planted with Chardonnay, and Volnay wines when planted with Pinot Noir... “Taut yet full-bodied, spicy, mineral, with a racy finish, it confirms the success of the region in 2008.” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2011 - Bettane & Desseauve)

About the estate:
An historic estate, first mentioned in the 18th century, now covering 24 hectares. At the helm are Roger Belland, who took over in 1981; his daughter Julie, who joined in 2003 and oversees winemaking; and their new partner, Martin Boyer. No certified organic production here, but sustainable and carefully managed viticulture (full grass cover in the vineyard, no herbicides), and wines of great consistency.
