2022 La Croix de Brully Santenay Les Prarons

La Croix de Brully continues to impress with this 2022 Santenay from the ‘Les Prarons’ lieu-dit - a site that sits just below the Premier Cru slopes and consistently punches above its weight. The domaine’s style leans toward purity and finesse, and it shows clearly here.

Fruit is hand-picked, fermented with minimal intervention, and aged in mostly older oak to let the site do the talking. The result is a Pinot that’s fresh and finely structured, with bright red fruit, a bit of earthy spice, and lovely detail through the palate. Tannins are gentle but present, and there’s a lift and clarity that sets it apart from the heavier, more rustic takes on Santenay.

This is quietly confident Burgundy - no bells and whistles, just smart farming and clean, expressive winemaking.
