Santenay beauregard premier cru 2022 (Domaine Roger Belland)

Enjoy it now, or cellar for 15 years. No need to decant before serving. Beauregard is a stunning Premier Cru, emblematic of the Santenay region, featuring a vibrant nose of lemon zest, white flowers, and ripe orchard fruits.

You can also discover underlying notes of buttery toast and a touch of vanilla. This wine is made exclusively from 25-year-old Chardonnay vines, grown in the Beauregard vineyard, known for its south-facing slopes, limestone-clay soils, and resplendent views – which is where the "Beau-regard" name comes from.

Domaine Roger Belland, a family-run estate, has been a pillar of Burgundy winemaking for six generations and well over a century. Now spearheaded by Roger and his daughter Julie, the Belland family’s commitment to sustainable farming practices and traditional winemaking techniques is made evident in every bottle of their delicious range.

On the palate, Beauregard exhibits a superb balance of tart orchard fruits, lively citrus zest, and mouth-watering acidity. Flavours of green apple skin, acacia, and buttered bread evolve into a long, silky finish with hints of vanilla and oaky spice.

Beauregard spent 8 months ageing in French oak barrels before release. This wine is a perfect match for leek and potato soup, grilled fish, or mushroom risotto. Its excellent structure and complexity also make it a candidate for any collector’s long-term cellar.
