Santenay at the southernmost tip of the Cote de Beaune is like no other region in Burgundy. First of all, the orientation is much more East/West before the turn at Chassagne-Montrachet opens up to the rest of the Cote de Beaune.
Second, the terroir is much more diverse than the rest of Burgundy with a few very, very special plots featuring soils similar to Graves in Bordeaux and a precious few more akin to the top Grand Cru of Cotes du Nuits like today’s wine.
Santenay is an area where a little home-field advantage goes a long way which is exactly what we have with Vincent Girardin. This is where he grew up – the fields where his boyhood imagination ran wild.
So perhaps his parents shouldn’t have been so shocked when in 1980 at the age of 19 he made the decision to stop selling to the big boys and take the two hectares of family vines in Santenay and began making wine under the family name. A decade of experiments and then the addition of winemaker Eric Germain – the maison really hits its stride.
Vincent used his neighborhood connections to source grapes from some of the best small growers in the region for this wine. That’s why he calls it Terre d’Enfance or childhood lands. That’s also why the price is so reasonable. Sourced from vineyards aged 45+ years, this is no baby Santenay, it’s just got a tiny price tag for what’s in the bottle. In fact, despite the high-flying prices on many of his cru wines, this is considered Vincent’s flagship wine and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
